if you are asking this question you may want to have a qualified professional build the cage.

its a daily driver w/ 700+ to the wheels already, and i need a 10point roll cage because of the mph the car is trapping in the 1/4(134+).I dont want to remove the a/c. I dont like the ones that goes in front of the dashboard. I was wondering if anyone has pics of the installation process so i can show the guy thats doing my cage.

A daily driver with 700+ to the wheels? Okay.

Why don't you like the "ones that goes in front of the dashboard?" That seems to me like the cleanest way to do it, right down the a-pillar. Like this one:

Just search for the sparco evo. I think there is still a link to it on the first page. It's got the roll cage you are looking for. It goes through the defroster vents and you don't cut the dash.

What about going through the defroster vents on the sides of the dash?

EDIT: Beat me to it.

Yes, they have done it, but I wouldn't exactly call a 700whp Evo something you hear every day. They are a very rare thing and most of them are well documented. Now, about that question I had.

Thumbs up

I'm with ProccoEvo

I like the cage that goes thru the defrost vents also. It seems stronger going straight thru than BENDING around.

If you want one that goes in front of the dash, you can have my 6 point Autopower bolt in.
