cusco cage installed...pics
so I installed my cusco roll cage last night...and man what a job. I am sick today throwing up because i drank 2 redline(energey drinks) just to get the energy to do it. Those drinks are stong and get you wired! (for anyone that knows what im talking about) Anyways...this is not a easy "BOLT IN"..more as a "slam/bang/hammer IN"..me and 3 frinds worked form 8pm to 12:30..so heres the results. I posted many angles becasue when i searched for pics I found only a few..maybe some people would like to know where all the mounting points are...where exactly the bars go etc. MY first idea was to assemble it in the car..lightly bolt in all the bolts and move the cage slightly around where its going to mount. WRONG. this is SUCH a tight fit i had my whole interiir stripped, carpet pulled back..and even removved the 1/4"sound deadening(where cages bolts to floor) to gain clearence for the center "main" bar. Clearence is sotight between the floor and the headliner that is put a few creases in the headlinereeee. BUt i will get over it. i hope. Also..I dont see how people say this is for a RHD vehicle as both sides are semetrical. Enjoi!
PROS: *Flashy, blue cucso sig. paint
*stiffins up the chassis alot( i didnt get the test it much..but i really felt a ddifference driving it home)
*nice show peice
CONS:
*pretty hard to put in
*little TOO tight of a fit
*not legal for racing..show only!!lol
* you lose your glove box..and sun visors.
pics:

The cage looks beautiful. I don't understand why a cage would be wanted if it's just for looks, I mean, it's inside the car....who's going to see it when your rolling down the road.
Again, I think it looks real nice but it just doesn't seem to practical. Does it stiffen up the body at all?

Looks really good and I love the bride interior.

Honest and unapologetic is the only way to roll I prefer race cars, but nice job anyway!

Hey lambo--Sorry to threadjack, but WHERE?HOW did you get the rear seats matched to the bride gradients? I was planning on getting some Bride racing seats and I freaking love your interior. Oh, and slightly more on topic--The cage looks sweet.

I won't drive my rally car (other than when I have to on transits) without a helmet on for that very reason.
