I didn't remove any interior parts, took the car to Alston dropped it off. Came back with a very very nice full cage, they put my SFC's in, welded cross bar for Extreme TQ arm, seat brackets, and welded up my drag launch sway bar kit too. It was about 3k. The cage fits in very tight so there is plenty of room, it has swing outs and is no harder then a 6 point bar to get into.

I can get some pics of it tomorrow if you would like. You should get ahold of Alston they have done mine PSJ's and Brads they have bars and I have a cage.

that's where i was thinking of going since it's kind of local(milwaukee area for me). i'd appreciate any pics. Did they say anything about saving money by stripping the interior yourself?

Since they bend everything custom they told me it was better to leave everything like you wanted it, so they could get a very tight fit. I will get some pics taken tomorrow, what email do you want me to send them to? They also ran the A-piller bars though the dash and trimmed the dash very well. If your going to be around your house tomorrow I can call you and talk to you about it alittle more in detail.

thanks for the info. won't be around tomorrow though <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

if you can please email them to Stage1GSX@aol.com i'd greatly appreciate it.

I see your point about positioning everything for a tight fit, so interior still in the car is probably a better idea. just figured since i had it stripped anyways, might as well leave it at that point.
