If you don't have a bender or notcher and your looking for something that will go right in Wolfe Racecraft is the way to go. If you can do some work and want to save some money you can buy a Jegs kit, just be prepared to work to make it fit the way it should.

Wolfe is hands down the best fitting prefabbed cages. IMO.

Okay answer these questions and we can help you a little better...

Have you ever built or installed a cage?
Will you be installing this yourself?

False, the nonsponsor I have fits better, is better engineered, less wait time and cheaper.

Now if we are talkig 6 points, the Wolfe takes the cake but not full cages

The one I have is from MIA motorsports, a small company out of Arkansas. I believe KY speed on here is a distributor for that cage. here is pics of mine. We added some gussets but everything else is from them.

ya I have a 6pt, and yours does look like it fits real nice as well. Ive never heard a single complaint on the Wolfe stuff other than the wait.
heres a quick pic on how tight the fit is on the Wolfe 6pt

Cya where are you located? You may want to look into the local guy that can build one for you... unless you have the ability to weld one in yourself, in that case you may be better off with a kit from someone.

To me it fits better than the pics I've seen of Wolfe cages installed.
