Default roll cage

i can get a comp engineering 8 point roll cage for 37 bucks thanks to my new job . question is how hard is it to install? i may or may not. if i did it would be mostly for looks cause i think it looks BA. im not gonna be puttin THAT much power out that i need one, its mostly just for looks and the price is right. but if im going to install it im gona do it right.

A cage in a street car that does actually need one is lame, and borderline poser/ricer. Not only that but when you bang your head off the tubing during a minor fender bender and split your skull open, you will wish you never put it in. Cages are simply PART of a saftey SYSTEM, without the other parts they are, at best useless, and at worst more dangerous than not having it. Besides all that, they are pretty hard to install, you need to be able weld and the complte interior needs to come out of the car.

Cage would be too much a pain getting in and out. If anything go with a roll bar.

I agree if you dont need it, dont bother with it. All though 37 bucks is a good price.
