Default Roll Cage 98 Civic Coupe

I'm looking for a roll cage that will bolt in a 98 Civic coupe without tearing out interior pieces or cutting them for that matter...I think the Cusco cage will bolt in but site says it needs modification to fit in a USDM honda. If somebody can point me in the direction that would help me out greatly...thanks guys!

why do you want the cage? for mad tite JDMification of your car? or for actual safety?
IIRC the cusco cage isnt legal for most sanctioned racing bodies in the US and quite possibly elsewhere.
there are several archived threads discussing the cusco cage, particulary over in the rr/ax forum with very little positive feedback

You hit it on the head with the JDMification and looks...I don't really have any use for it besides to show it off. But do you know if I have to modify it at all to make it fit properly?

I guess I don't understand your question fully, I have a complete interior and I'm trying to keep it that way. Are you asking how many panels there are or how many I have to cut? Also I'm wondering if anybody knows where I can see pics of one installed already I searched this site and didn't find any pics, I've actually looked everywhere could somebody point me in the right direction?

well if you dont care about safty you can build your own out of PVC pipe and then cleaning up the joints with JB weld... but you will be flamed by most people if you do it.

the loop part of the bar will have to cut and shortened because the roof hangs lower due to all the sunroof accessories
