Cage pics and suggestions

The time has come for me to put a cage in the car. My car can run faster than 11.50's right now and I am thinking that I might as well go right to a cage rather than a bar.

I will probably buy a pre-bent cage (S&W is the brand I am leaning towards).
Any other pre-bent cages out there?

I want to put the interior back in the car once the cage is put in.

Anyone have pics of their cages?

S&W make a nice kit. its not a weld right in some of the tubes will need to be fit, just a tad. if you get thers make sure. you get the swing out door bars, to fit your arm rest. nothing looks more. hack job.. then no arm rest. if you dont want swing out side bars.. still get the same side bars.. they come pre bent..you need to fit..as the tubes are long..cut to size. a good shop should have no prob installing the kit.

you can also go bolt in AUTO POWER makes a nice kit and you can add side bars to it and weld it in if you feen the need to..

local shop has a $65.000 tubing bender set up for doing up to 4" tube now.
we have been playn with it...skys the limit now..
