Default Need cage installed

Looking to have a cage installed and wanted to see if anyone had any recommendations? I have an aluminum frame so I would need someone with experience with those frames. I don't want to have a bolt on and I am looking for a full cage except I want to keep the dash installed.

Car is a 2015 c7 Z06.
Anyone have any recommendations for shops on the east coast? preferably Southern east coast.

I have heard of
piper motorsports and Phoenix racing that might be able to do it.

Piper does top notch work!. I have two cars with Piper cages in them... Cages are pricey, but so is your life if you are tracking these things...

You said southern East Coast? XP motorsports in longwood, FL also puts in a nice cage, or Dave at Tigvision in South FL

I'm in the Charlotte, NC area.

Thanks so far for the recommendations. I'm surprised I haven't heard of Piper before but a lot of people have said good things

Piper has real experience with caging alloy frame Vettes. There will be no issues with delays excuses etc. They are the most professional folks I have ever worked with in any business. Remove the interior yourself to save some money if needed. Make a list of your needs/ expectations and prepare to be impressed. Properly caging an alloy car is time consuming and expensive.

BJ at Genesis One Automotive in Cumming Ga does all the Vette's in the Southeast. You won't find anyone better.
The guy is truly an artist.

BJ was my original person I was going to however he is booked until July at the earliest and even possibly the fall. So I need another place based on my time frame.

I would just wait for BJ. You are going to end up with exactly what you want for a lot less money. I'd even offer to pay him extra to squeeze you in sooner, if he will entertain that idea.

Sorry - didn't realize that was you.
BTW - I owe you a beer.

Another vote for Piper. They did the cage in my C6Z.

P.S. PM me if you're dropping off the car - I'm just around the corner.

I'd love to cage a Corvette...I've never done one to date, only bmw's and various other machines. If only I could lock down some shop space....the search continues.

They're actually in Leesburg, VA. Mitch used to have a big shop in Sterling, VA but somebody wanted to buy the property at a nice profit so he sold it. He ended up building a new shop on his property in Leesburg and it is very nice. Anybody who has been there can tell you this is a first class operation. Call them up and they can get you the address.
