Default Come play in my new jungle gym......'Roll Cage'

Well I finally got some time to snap some pics of my new Roll Cage. Here is the info on the Cage.

Made by Kirk Racing, it's a 4-point with X-Brace. Custom painted with pearl white and Gold Flakes... Install was fun to tell you the least.. You def need a helping hand to make things go smoothly.

Thoughts on the Roll Cage, Quality wise Kirk Racing did an awesome job. Welds were on point and the fit is dead on. Only problem I had was the couplings that go over the X-Brace. I had that area painted and had to scrap off some paint to make them fit, was so sad scraping off a freshly painted cage. All in All everything went in smoothly.

Ok enough with the talking on to the pics.....

Very nice car Royal. your car is clean yet aggressive.

how much did that roll bar set you back with the x brace? is it pretty heavy?

The Cage was not the expensive in my opinion. The 4-point it self is like $400 and the extra X-Brace is like $95 plus shipping so about $600 shipped. It feels like it weighs a pretty penny, and it is bolt in..

Is the brace mostly for show? (just wondering because you are running such an aggressive wheel setup)
