    why do you need one,? how fast are you going? If you need one, anything can be built to meet your needs,

    I think it's 11.99 or better that you need one around here. BUt yeah, there are plenty of shops that can build ya a roll cage for anything lol

    maybe get one for a coupe, and add to it,? all it has to do is cover the driver section,

    it runs the low 12's at 10 pounds of boost, and with the pedal going through the floor board my dad just wants me to be safe in case things go wrong, I'm only 16

    You would probably be better off just taking it to a chassis shop and get a cage built to fit the car, but it is no cheap proposition.....
