Default Roll cage

what is the average price for a reputable company to fabricate and weld a 10 point roll cage in a car? lets say a del sol since no one makes a cage for it. my last cage cost me $400 with me doing the welding using a mig welder in a 92 hatch.. this time I have a del sol and cant find a cage off the shelf, so I have to let a shop do it for me. I am in Germany and everything is over priced here.

you mean where I am located or where will the cage be built?

I am in Schweinfurt... the company for the cage is close to koln.
Geibelstat is closed
Ansbach may be in my future

I was gonna go with a brokedickracing cage, but I called S&W and they gave me more options to customized my cage to my size unlike BD racing.
