Atleast pad the bars Mossy.....i just dont think its a very good idea and seems like the money could be spent elsewhere
He's boosting the car, I think he's got a pretty well laid plan 
Give me good reasons why he shouldn't run a good WELD IN cage, and I'll take what you just said seriously

I think rollcages are ugly, but can someone explain the point, I mean if it's not a car such as a professional racer drives, what is the point of a rollcage? just curious, thanks!

There's many reasons for getting a cage...
1. Have you ever felt your car flexing? Well that'll be happening way less with a cage
2. If you're running certain times or in certain competition you have to have a cage or your car won't be allowed to run
3. Have you ever rolled a car? I'd rather be in a caged civic than in an uncaged one..

ORIGINAL: FlipHKD720 yeah rollcage on a DD isn't very safe man....but other than that should be super sick! And PLEASE paint the lips to match
haha, cmon man. i wrote the DIY article on how to paint. you think im not going to match them?
and thanks for coming to my defense tony. the cage is really the last thing on my list for when theres not much left to spend money on. and the cage i was looking at getting is dd safe due to the front bars being very low, not at the headliner level. so worst case scenario i bump my elbow now and then. even thats unlikely. i just want one to stiffen up the chassis more and i also want to start doing some club autox events next summer.
ill fire up a project thread once the parts start flowing in. ill probably start a thread to buy all my old parts as well, ill give good deals. keep leaving ideas and suggestions!

i'd suggest just a bolt in roll bar from like Autopower. their "race" roll bar series is a 4 bolt on point with harness mount tube. pretty cheap, easy to install, and wont hurt u in an accident. i may be getting one of theirs possibly next year. just dont see the need for a full like 6-8 point cage..
