How fast are you planning to run? I do not see why you would need a full 10pt cage in the car, esspecially in a daily driver car. If this is your DD by all means make it fast and fun but if you are tryingn to run so fast that you need a 10pt cage it will not last too long as a DD. My opinion would be to save a bit and buy a cheap DD car for like 3-4K$ then build the stang if you want this kind of speed.

I think this kid has watched Pinks a few too many times. With zero mods in his sig I'm pretty sure he's far from actually needed any roll cage at all. A 4-point or 6 point would be about the most cage you could have in a DD......or want for that matter.

But the thing is...I need a roll cage. And this is my daily driver. What other options do I have?

dude
you're 16
you don't NEED a full blown roll cage in your car, if you really wanted one just get a 4pt.
i have, well i am putting in a 4pt roll cage/harness bar in my 240sx and that will be plenty because i still want the car to be streetable.
save your money for something else much more worthwhile, what about those seats you were talking about?

if you got the harness, then youll need a harness bar, just get a 4point roll cage with a harness bar, youll be all set

Ten point roll cage is good if your planning on going to the track with it ... and have that as your "race car" everyday driving its impractical but could work ... id wait until you got some other performance mods along with it ..... but i do love those seats post pixs when your done id be interested to see how that works

I dont see why you need a 10py roll cage? are you planning to run 10s and below? I think at california speedway at 10.99 You need a 4 pt cage. Why would you ever want a 10 in your car that still has an interior? You have a 10 means no panels no seats cept the driver no ac no radio full blown race car.

More than a 4-point bar in a DD is silly.

Why in God's name would you need a 10 point roll cage....unless you're running under9 seconds which i know you're probably not, you don't need something that extreme
