Where to get this passenger-friendly cage???

I know I got these pics off a site I found from someone's post, so if they are yours just chime in!

Where can I get this amazing roll cage? It looks like it doesn't interfere with the passengers AT ALL! Is it track legal?

I have never seen that setup before, it looks cool but IMHO it is a bad design. There are too many kinks in the bars for it to be very strong. I'm going to say it is NOT legal in any race class. Looks good as a 4 point or 6 point but the rear is a joke and so are the front bars. Nice fabrication though!

Not legal.

The halo bar and the rear supposrts are not secured to the main hoop enough to protect you in case of a roll over. Only the door bars can have a temporary connection in the way of a swingout bar.

Those door bars are not legal because they don't pass between the driver's shoulder and elbow.

There's no rear support going across the main hoop for a 5 point harness to attach to and to add strength to the main hoop.

It's a fancy street cage but won't let you run quicker than 10.0 as a full cage. I doubt it would pass a tech inspection to allow you to run quicker than 12.0 as a 6 point bar.

What looks like about a 1/2" bolt joining the bars together doesn't have nearly the same strength as welded bars.
