Default Roll Cage Installed by Piper Motorsports

Just had Piper motor sports install a cage in my track day car.
Couldn't be happier
They finished it ahead of time and they are pleasure to work with.
Robbie is great to work with and keeps you very informed.
PM me if you want to see a copy of cost break down

I have seen a number of cars with Piper cages over the years. They do a top quality installation.

Buz -

That looks fantastic. I see you added some cooling. I assume the stock AC is gone now!

Looks awesome! Please check the height on your center net. It looks low but could be the picture. Look at a schroth or simpson manual. IIRC the top ribbon of net should be about check level. Or maybe you are using the center net to contain shoulders since you got halo for your head?

Beautiful work! Looks great Buz! I'm sure I'm not the only one in the area that secretly wishes they filled it with lead, maybe that way the rest of us could keep up with you!

Being an aluminum frame, how did they mount it? Especially the rear portion?

Best to call Robbie at Piper motor sports they can talk you through it and send you some pictures of how they fabricate and install the mount

Piper has done two cages for me (including the one in my avatar) and will likely do more work for me in the future.

Those guys are top shelf!

Wow...that's an impeccable looking install...as "barely there" as a rollcage can possibly be!

Just FYI:

The lower door bars appear to be constructed of S-Bends. Several organizations are now starting to disallow new construction with S-bend door bars.

Why is that?

Is the rear hoop one plane? Or does it have multiple bends in it to take it off plane to get it down the waterfall and back to the frame behind the seats without going through the waterfall?
