A cage isn't the best idea for a car that still sees a lot of street time and will not be visiting the single digit zone IMHO. My Nova now has one b/c it needs it to visit the 9's.

Performance Auto Fab, a sponsor here>>>>>>..makes great custom roll bars and cages to fit each vehicle perfectly...I'm going with a 6 point over the winter with swing outs...The fit/finish/welds are astounding and his prices are good...

Chris the problem with a 10 pt cage is that very intrusive in a 4th gen. The front bars up at the top of the windshield end up being right near your head.

I'm using my friend Neil at Possessed Racing, a small chassis fabrication shop, to redo my front bars. I had run the front bars in front of the dash back in 2002 or 2003. He's going to try to tuck up the front and roof bars as much as possible, I'll take pics.

If I knew I only needed a 6 pt, and I was driving the car alot, I'd do removeable side bars no problem.
