I picked up the cage from some guy in NJ for $100 its a S&W 6 point cage. it is ment for a car without a interior. So I had to costom bend the main hoop, door bars and the rear bars. I talked to S&W and they said when building a cage you want to tie in portions of the cage as close to the strut towers as you can. so the rear bars are bent to attach closer to the strut towers and they give a little extra head room if I ever decide to put the back seat in.
