Default Where to get a roll cage made for the EG hatchbacks?

Ever since I got my 92 Civic hatch CX I've been pretty worried to drive the car.
Reason being, it's such a small car, low to the ground, and by looking at it if there was a high impact side colision it could be fatal to the driver.

So, I have been looking around to see if anyone makes pre- fabbed roll cages for the cars... I found Autopower Industries, and there cages look nice and seem like they would offer good reinforced side protection, and front and rear protection for the driver.

I have looked for places that could fabricate a custom roll cage for it, but, no luck..

So, my questions for you guys are.. Are there any other companies besides Autopower that make pre-fabbed roll cages for the civics? Do any of you have a roll cage in your civic, and if so, did you buy it pre fabbed, or did someone fab it for you, and who did the work? Also, any info on places that fab roll cages would be great.

I'm in Maryland also, so... places near maryland or the surrounding states would be appreciated.

If you're willing to drop your car off in Pittsburgh for a couple of days, I highly recommend a custom cage by Jay Cooper at Domination Chassis. He has done many excellent SCCA, NASA, and NHRA legal roll bars and cages, and he is a great guy to deal with. The work, the turnaround times, and the prices are great.

If you're looking for something pre-fabbed, Kirk Racing and Autopower are the manufacturers you're looking for. I have been impressed with the Kirk Racing stuff that I have seen.

What sanctioning body will you be racing with? What class?

You don't need a rollbar/cage.

a rollcage can do alot of damage to you on the street.

head + 2" diameter tube of metal = cracked like a watermelon.
