Legality depends on e.t. Quicker you go, the more stringent the requirements become.

 :iagree: Roll bar padding is usually required  around the driver and passenger areas.

 :iagree:  That's the deal.  That looks like a 4-6 pointcage to me.  Prolly good to mid 11's or so.....

Don't know if it's legal but it looks pretty cool in there, looks mean and racey... maybe I'll go to Home Depot and get some PVC pipe and .....  :smilielol:

Legal Roll Cage???

Nah. No back bar, no side bar, top is too close to the drivers head ect, ect..

It does look pretty cool but probably a little too ricey. The front bar through the dashpad is hardcore!! Gives it a "Fit" look that most E-bods are missing

It would be funny if the bars were installed to look like they were going all the way through the dash but really didn't.

main hoop needs to be lined up where the door and the quarter glass meet. Door bar is mandatory on the driver's side for any rule that requires a roll bar (usually 5 point) as well as the back bar . now roll cage rules get way more stringent with possible dash bars, rocker bars, rear kicker bars, etc. Without the bar behind the seats you can't even use a 5 point harnesses to atch the ricer seat. Through the dash is a must if I ever put one in my car.

I like the main hoop, how it goes right over your head. Try and drive that with a helmet on....
