I'm not sure how much for a 4 or 6 point, but the shop that tunes my car quoted me for $2,700 for an 8pt mild steel cage, painted, and for all the labor. The cage isn't that expensive at all, its the labor that adds up. If you can take all your interior out yourself that will save a lot of money.

The more I think about it, I was quoted on a 10pt. But yeah by him taking out all that interior his self saved him a lot of money. That shop was the only shop I talked to about it though so I'm not to sure if that was a super high price or not.

i got one of the SOS 10pt kits local, i've been getting quotes in the 600-800 range to install. That's with me tearing out the interior, and them making plates for it, and the 800 price included the window net. I'll only have 1500 in this cage once its said and done, and that's 4130 too.

Eric at MWC quoted me 1300 for a 8pt CM bar DS swing out, with the interior already removed. I know another guy that got his 8pt done for 800 including them removing the interior. I got a Wolfe 6pt bolt in for now for 600 and installed it myself. Interior is easy to take outand the bar was also easy to put in.

As mentioned, materials is a fraction compared to the labor (although chromemoly is more expensive then mild steel, but is lighter). I've paid about $1400 total for a local shop to do my 8-point mild steel cage (done as a 5-point bar with driver swing out first back in 2003, then upgraded to a full cage in 2007). Everything was custom bent the way I wanted it, so that adds a little, but I took the car to him with the interior out and painted it myself.
