Default Cage builders in Texas?

Im looking to see if anyone has any recommended shops to have a proper 10pt cage and chute mount installed on my car in Texas. Area doesnt really concern me as long as its within 3-4 hours of Central Texas area. The car is a 92 Nissan Sentra SE-R.

I spoke with Tony and he told me he doesnt do cages anymore. He did have a couple suggestions but I lost the email with the shops.

If anyone has any recommendations please post up the name of the shop so I can get ahold of them. Thanks

lol, i got part of my cage done at hickam series (fort worth) and the other part at turbo elements (San antonio)

why that way, well I knew Hickam series and they did the 8pt before i wanted a 10pt.

then i found turbo elements and they are a lot closer to me than hickam, plus a lot of other things where done at the same time they finished the halo and the other two points

Do you recommend one over the other to do the full cage? What are the time frames you guys getting cages done are seeing from start to finish?

If you want a quote shoot us a e-mail to sales@turboelements.com

A 10 point takes us 2-3 days from start to finish.

Here is a link to pictures of a cage we just did in a evo9: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?...1690593&type=1

Thanks Hickam,

Great response from you and after looking at your work I would more than feel confident bringing my car to you. Waiting to hear back from one last shop and a decision will be made.

Thanks everyone for their replies.
