those are sweet... but i still want to drive my car with everyday comfort and still be able to run at the track.. without getting booted for no cage.... so if there was like a nice bolt in cage thats not too uncomfortable on everyday driving.. that'd be ideal for me

are you talking Drag racing?

Those are difference then road racing cages. the above are road racing cages.

there are some bolt in Drag racing roll bars, with an extra two down ward pipes, not quite what I would call a cage but that might be what you are looking for

here are some wolf roll cages

NOT for road racing as these will not pass tech as built

harness should go though the seats to work. Wrap around and they could slide off on impact or you would slide though the harneses.

Heres Mine, I bought it used from my tuner, he had it custom made. The only bad thing is I can put my top in, either going to get the rear bars custom made or make new brackets to hold my top
