IROC2000LS1 I love that cage. Is something like that NHRA legal, would it pass safety inspection at a track if you are fast enough to require a cage? I'm going to need a cage but I'm hesitant on giving up the comfort of getting in and out of the car with ease. I dont want to have to "climb" into the car since I plan on the car being more of a street car than a track car.

Here is a pic of the rear bars, most people end them above the gas tank, I brought mine back to the rear sub frame.

IROC2000LS1, very nice!! What did you use to make the targa top? Im looking for a way to shave some weight off the t-tops, and the 6LE piece is nice (expensive) but to really make it light it needs to become a hard top. Its time for me to build my cage, gut the dash and doors and do something with the t-tops.

Ahhh, I see, hard top car to start with. Mines a drift car, and will rarely see more than 90mph. Im really just wanting something I can remove for local events/driving. Getting rid of the glass/brackets/center piece is appealing.

A t-top car would be a lot easier to start with, a hard top car u pretty much have to convert it to a t-top car first. For a top all you need to do is go to a junk yard and remove you one from a hard top car. Most of the time my top stays out when its warm, the car is garage keep so I just leave it out most of the time until it gets cold out. The top will fit perfect in the hatch turn around backwards.
Made it at work. Can't find the pic though.

Looks clean as hell! I was just thinking to myself, "Self, you should do this to yours!" Then I noticed that I probably have an oil filter where your driver side coils are at, then I noticed you moved your filter, then I noticed all the tubular awesomeness… then I was sad I don't have car funds like that.

My favorite mod thus far..... smoothed out and molded in front plate. I had the bat logo custom cnc cut and then I beveled the edges and welded studs to the backside so I could permanently affix it to the bumper. Painted silver and voila....
