Get you one from S&W, excellent cage and not to expensive. I take it you going mild steel, right. Here is a link, tell them what you want and year of the car, they will get you what's the best. Mine is from them.

Wolfe Racecraft 100%. Put it in your car, and every other mail order "kit" will look like absolute shit. I cant even fit my finger b/t the bars and panels/headliner.

Darren, I didn't know yours was a mail order cage -- I thought it was all custom made. That's pretty impressive for mail order!

It's 430, go to bed loser!!

I was definitely impressed w/ it. A guy I used to race with had an SW in his 03 GT. You could fit your fist b/t the A piller and the bar and the upper bars were 2+" from the headliner. They are cheap and I was gonna go w/ them until I saw that...
