was thinking the same.
and a little short.

 

A little short? lol Jesus, i hope you're like 5'1" or so. You know your head can't come up past the top of the main hoop, right?

 

Yeah but that makes it so much easier to weld the upper bars

lol

 

Is that even the right cage for that car? I got my 8pt from safe-drives also, and it stis tight against the roof and the sides are really close also, and that just looks WAY to small for that car, but maybe it's just me.

 

Well, It's obvious that something isn't right.. this is why I would never buy a pre-bent cage, I had my cage done how I wanted it done, and everything lined up Perfect

People Want to cheap out, and this is what happens 90% of the time

 

You definately need a new hoop... Or i hope you're really short!

yah the main hoop is fucked i dunno. I thought it would of been tighter along the sides and roof

it might work out only because i have a sparco spring bucket seat and it sits really low and im 5'7ish

after waiting for the ****** cage to get thru customs and safe drives sending it( 2 months) because they sent the wrong bill with it..

Im not one happy safe drives customer

 

you got fucked, ive bought 2 cage kits, one competition engineering and 1 S&W kit and they all have fit nicely at the roof with headliner even AFTER trimming some off the bottoms.

 

who made that cage a Midget? lol

 

well thanks for the input guys.. my first cage so i wouldnt of realized this..

im going to take out the main hoop and get one made up taller.
good thing its only tacked into place!

thanks again

 

That ***** for a crx........

 

the sides and and back ones are ok.
im going to take the main hoop out and extend the bottoms so its close to roof

 

how about you show these pictures to S&W and tell them its not right!

Thats what I would do, better yet give them back their cage with a reason and photos, ask for your money back and go get a custom 1 made for you car...

yah i might send this post.... im not happy of a customer right now..

i just dont want to wait another 2 friggin months for it to come :@:@:@

its just the main hoop thats not right .. the back's and the sides are fine.
we got the sides sitting nice and tight to the door skins

 

My S&W fit way better than that.



Either you got the wrong kit, or you chopped the legs off the bottom of the hoop and won't admit it. And as far as waiting 2 months for an S&W cage... I think you're wrong. They can have a full cage cut and bent and out of the warehouse next day usually.

 

i never touched the hoop and chopped it. DO YOU NOT SEE HOW BENT THE SIDES ARE???
And really you know how long it took to get here?

I ordred it april 24th called and bitched oh sorry we diddnt ship it out i dont have your complete postal code here...
i received the cage on june 2th

WELL WHY DIDNT YOU ******* CALL ME AND ASK FOR IT? INSTEAD OF ME HAVING TO CALL IN, AFTER IVE ALREADY GIVIN YOU THAT INFO

then they send a wrong invoice with the package. and i have to deal with customs about it being the wrong price for 3 WEEKS back and forth

so please dont acuse me of this.
nothing put poor service from them

thanks

I think you came to a few NOPI events last year right? If you come to any this year I can bring you a Kens Kustom Cage and you can just take it home with you in your car. No need to wait or pay for shipping.

You know your cage is missing plates... That's probably not going to pass tech...
