Default Should I install a roll cage before I re do interior?

This will be a 2000 camaro. I want to install a roll cage because of corse I want to drag and drift. I want to install sheetmatal door inserts and cover them with sued. Is that possible? I also am going to put 4 new seats.I dont want to have the ultimate drag or drift car because I still want to drive it to work, but I want it to look good and kick a$$. Would this be a good idea.

YES!!! Easiest time to install the roll cage. If you're going with aluminum door pieces, DON'T Sued them. You're defeating the whole purpose of aluminum door pannels.

I understand sheet metal door pieces make the car lighter. I figured sued was a light fabric and it would make the car look nice though. But you say no go with the sued then?

Look for a fabrication shop. you can buy universal ones from jegs that you have to rivet to the door and cut out your own accessory holes and make an arm rest/ something to close the door.
