1) they're bling
2) they're over-priced
3) they're meant for RHD, so the triangulation is backwards
4) don't ask where to buy things in tech.

and dont plan on holding your steering wheel on the left side. there is no room, and it will also block any mirror/ sunroof controls that might be on the left side of the dash. if anythign get an autopower. it will do a much better job at stiffening the chassis, looks better imo and is much much cheaper. it also has a harness bar

Umm

I thought the same thing until today.

I've seen a few fucked up things in custody battles or repos, like a guy that when his car was gonna get repoed put a cinder block on the gas in neutral and left it there.....lots of parts flying around.... (old car, no rev limiter).

Though today....today ******* bewildered me. My friend's cousin (guess he's kinda my friend too) is 16, he has this PIECE OF **** Ford Festiva (or something of the sort) that his cousin got him for a first car...solid car, nothing special, just meant so he could learn....so today my dad was helping my friend's mom (that'd be the guy with the festiva's aunt) and I guess the guy decided to put on his seatbelt, and intentionally go OFF the road and into a tree.....then the car rolled over a few times.

He totalled the car on purpose b/c he ******* hated it.

Anywayz, always **** to blow my mind, but he hit the tree w/ roll intended (wanted to make sure it wasn't fixable). Now I think that's a little bit fucked up but I'm leaving in a few to check this **** out (I wanna see this car)
HAHAHA, I think it's funny ****, just heard about it like 1/2 hour ago.

Anywayz ,yeah, MOST OF THE TIME people don't plan on rolling their cars.

Most roll cages are for cosmetis...and if you want one that's not, you're probably looking at a weld job while the body's naked, not some half-*** bolt-in cage.

wrong. no cage = better than cage

unless you have a dedicated track car

A bolt in cage really won't do much.

A cage should be custom built to the vehicle it's in and built for that vehicles purpose. It should be tied into the frame thus linking the whole vehicle together.
