bought a saftey 21 roll cage wtf!!!!! help
i have a 97 civic coupe like 3 weeks ago i ordered and even put a fat deposit down for a saftey 21 5 pt. roll cage for my car like 3 weeks ago and they just tell me that they dont make it for the civic 2dr. they make it for the eg 2dr and the ek hatch would any of these fit??? what is the difference from the 97 coupe and the 97 hatch that would make the rollcage mounting point different??

You, my friend, got served.
On a lighter note, get a refund. I really don't know why you needed to make a thread on how to get your money back, simple as that.

it just doesnt fit
different sized car, the frames different...
cages weld onto the frame, not the interior. and if the car is different gen'd, so is the frame.. its really not all that hard

yes and no.
Yes, you're acting like a whiney bitch.
No, they apparently don't make one that will fit your car.

lol hahahah thats funny if you have a coupe and you orderd a cage for a hatch it aint gunna fit. they are different cars. length width wheel base height its all different you might be able to make it fit if you did a little bit of some cutting.

We all understand what you are asking, you just aren't understanding the reality we are telling you.
The layout of a coupe vs. a hatch are way different.
Cage points are selected by locations of strength within the frame/body. Therefore the cage must be designed for the specific car. There is no way to get around this & still have a cage that performs its purpose.
BTW there are plenty of coupes with cages in them dude. You just need to find a cage that is designed for a coupe.
But lots of coupes (like mine) have cages.
