Here's my take. Spend the money now or a lot more later. If you're building a street legal race car (which all of theses cars are and don't kid yourself) build it like your ganna do the 150 mph plus. Everybody always says they wont until the cars finished and then have to spend a lot more around a painted car. Then when it's painted you still wont be able to go the full extreme with out harming the paint or apolstry

Yes, it's expensive! What isn't nowadays if you want quality and safety? My customer I'm building the Cuda for said no at first,but then his brother go's. Were building this car with 800 plus hp why wouldn't we put one in. I opened my big mouth and said lets hide it. This cage was the most difficult,time consuming,and challenging peace that i've done. The biggest concerns from the begging were vision out the front and rear windows which never changed because the cage is tucked into the car. 2nd Im 6' 3" and my head won't hit the halo bar or the side down bars. So in the end the customer has full safety no dinging his head and can race it on a track.

In my honest opinion. It's one of those things that are a necessity. If you're building a car of this caliber with this much HP and are GOING to use it on any kind of track or street put a cage in it! NOT a bar! Spend it now and have a peace of mind later.

Here's a few before and after pics.
