Maybe we will live.....
Ordered an SW Race Cars 10 pt. cage today. Should be interesting to install. Through the dash model. Wife says she will feel a lot safer with it. Anyone done this?

Not thiers, but I've seen custom 10 point rollcages that go through the dash. Doesn't belong in a C5 IMO, a 6 point should be sufficient, unless you need the extra bars for running 9's.
