Do your own thing, all that matters is if you like it

Check out his shop if you don't believe me:

Actually I was wrong about how it stiffens the chassis but it does help increase the body rigidity.,,not sure if its the same thing.

Those drinks are stong and get you wired! (for anyone that knows what im talking about) Anyways...this is not a easy "BOLT IN"..more as a "slam/bang/hammer IN"..me and 3 frinds worked form 8pm to 12:30..so heres the results. I posted many angles becasue when i searched for pics I found only a few..maybe some people would like to know where all the mounting points are...where exactly the bars go etc. MY first idea was to assemble it in the car..lightly bolt in all the bolts and move the cage slightly around where its going to mount. WRONG. this is SUCH a tight fit i had my whole interiir stripped, carpet pulled back..and even removved the 1/4"sound deadening(where cages bolts to floor) to gain clearence for the center "main" bar. Clearence is sotight between the floor and the headliner that is put a few creases in the headlinereeee. BUt i will get over it. i hope. Also..I dont see how people say this is for a RHD vehicle as both sides are semetrical. Enjoi!

PROS: *Flashy, blue cucso sig. paint
*stiffins up the chassis alot( i didnt get the test it much..but i really felt a ddifference driving it home)
*nice show peice

CONS:
*pretty hard to put in
*little TOO tight of a fit
*not legal for racing..show only!!lol
* you lose your glove box..and sun visors.
pics:






NEXT ON THE LIST:
-advan rs GTR face GOLD - ON ORDER
-Seibon ts-II hood- OnORDER
-cwest front- ON oRDER
-DEFI bf ambver imperial- ON ORDER
-PMU or Rotora BBK(not sure which one yet)

just an FYI the cages are FIA approved for a variety of events but Cusco has never made the effort to get any sort of US approval via SCCA, etc. Perhaps in the future they will
