I'm surprised this is coming up with the Alpha folks. I remember them generally being a bit more flexible with things. This included non instructors being able to have passengers in the car. At least "back in the day". PCA wouldn't allow that.

The Alfa club still very much has that reputation. They still let any A group driver take a passenger, with permission from event staff. No one else does that.

I just read Wayne's
101 Projects for your Boxster write up on this. I was amazed at how easy it is to remove and replace. I thought it would be much more complicated.

Are they fiberglass, or some sort of composite? I would be surprised if they are steel. In the event that they are some sort of composite, there is no way I would want one over my head if the car went over. I can just see getting skewered by a broken shard. I know most Spec Boxsters run them, so maybe that isn't a valid concern. Or maybe they feel as though all of the cross bracing in the cage over their heads protects them from that.
