If you can live without the airbag (no pun intended), I say go for it - looks sweet.
And personally, I think crusie control is useless..

It looks cool but I've seen how airbags pay off in an accident and would never remove mine.
But it's your life, so just check your state's vehicle code to see if it's legal to drive without the airbag on the street.
And make sure your insurance is up to date, especially if you don't drive with 4-point safety belts!
Of course if it's just for the track then it a big thumbs up!

Good luck living without the airbag after a crash at speed!

lol - yeah - if the wreck is so bad a full cage and a 5 pt won't hold you in, an airbag won't do you much good!
Looking forward to pics - Ortoch - you having the cage custom made or are you sourcing it from somewhere? I've been thinking about doing the same and am just starting to look at rollcage options..

I don't think you car won't pass inspection without an airbag... I believe something like all production cars post (insert year here) must have airbags in them in order to pass inspection.
Then again I could be wrong... (don't tell my wife I said that)

I think it would be sick! What is the center section (horn area) made out of? It would be cool if you could puta GT or some kind of logo there, maybe even get something machined out of billet.
