UPDATE! I went over to the shop that is building the cages and paid my cage in full. I know many are not 100 percent sure about this because they are not sponsors on here (whatever you dilemma is) They will have the cage finished before the BIg Meat we are having in Chicago. I will post pictures when they are available.

so if we do not get 5 people, are they just refunding my deposit from paypal? how long are they going to wait to see if we hit 5? as originally stated, i was good at 5+ pricing, not not more than that.

thats up to you guys, I agree the 5+ price works for everyone and the shop. I would say that I open this up for a few more weeks. We just need two more. If it doesn't then your deposit can be refunded

ehh I am def interested, but that price still can't touch what a competent local chassis shop will do (and that's painted). This is a little pricey

really? could I ask where?
I would like to know they are in lines with NASA specs and as well as SCCA.
I have contacted Fall-Line who has done many cages and they are close to the original price of 25xx. If you can go with a complete easily to disassemble / reassemble cage I would say go for it.

Even the AE Performance Half cage, which does not come part is $1900

Evosport's half cage with you have to weld into the car is $3200

We get our money back if they do not hit 5 pricing. If everybody waits for 5, we'll never get 5. Do the deposit and then we only need 1 more. If nobody else steps up, you'll get your $600 back.

just make the deposit, regardless if it doesn't go through you are 100 percent guaranteed to get your money back. If you are truly interested then you should. Doesn't make sense waiting around

I believe we are close to having 3-4 right now. So come on people. Like I said I went ahead and paid in full and they are working on building mine now.

Unfortunately, it looks like this is going nowhere. I wonder how much the GTS one costs.

I am not waiting until the end of August. I will give it until Monday. That is 3 weeks since you opened it up. Then I need to source something else. I don't see this going anywhere. In 3 weeks, people know if they are willing to do this or not. This is like the Varis diffuser deal. We had lots of interested people, but only 3 that would pay. Thanks for all the effort though.
