Several cars ran them. I had Kirk modify my cage. Mark's work is top notch and well priced.

Our CRX indeed has one of the KIRK 8-point cages. How you actually do the NASCAR style doorbars is your choice-either against the door panel or into the cavity-just tell them so the bars can be properly bent. Ours is overkill at 1.75" x .120" but fit perfectly. The whole thing weighs about 135 ready to weld in and included an extra section of tubing for the door bar verticals. (Pictures available via e-mail only.) Visiting Mark's shop was a treat for us, btw.

HAH!
I actually got to help Mark build my cage.
Well... More like I spent a weekend getting in his way, but it was still a great learning experience. I was baffled by how little actual measuring he does. He literally backs up, closes one eye, makes some muttering noises, and makes a cut or bend. Then it fits perfectly.

Yeah, I could do that .

Anyway, if you can weld and know what you're doing the Kirk stuff is a great deal.

You can get an idea of what the weld-in cage kit for an Integra, I'm pretty sure, by looking at my car right here. I'm pretty sure his Integra template is pretty much this care minus the seat mount. Me, I towed the car and had him put it in on-site, as I don't know how to weld. Good stuff.
