i doubt you will find one already done. it will most likely have to be a custom deal. and if its an 8 or 10 point it will have to be a welded cage and not a cheezy bolt in show cage.

the pvc is a joke right? heh unless you want sharp fragments of plastic embedding themselves in every exposed section of flesh on your body upon impact... (ive made a couple PVC pipebombs in my past, they shatter nice and gruesomely, and if you put them in a full 55 gallon antifreeze barrel it will jump about 2 feet off the ground!)

lol its straight, i figured you had to be joking because if you actually know its PVC and not PCV pipe (grah i hear it all the time, my mom cant understand the difference between a PCV valve and PVC pipe.), then you had to realise what you were saying :)

i could have sworn that mach v sold cages...not 10+ point though. It would prolly be easiest to find out where all teh local race cars get all theirs done, or check around at garages n whatnot.You'll save on shipping, and it would be easier to get it customized too.

Competition Engineering makes an 8, I have one welded into my car. Go check out their site. If you want a 10 we've done the hoop conversion, put the X brace into it, and ran the two bars down to the floor. No you don't have to run it through the dash, you cut them back early and run them down near the A-pillar and then straight to the floor.
