I think JS does installs. I'm assuming you want one welded in?
Do you have a certain brand in mind or are you looking for something custom?

I don't really need a custom item, just really something that I can pass tech at the track and not get kicked out, doesnt really need to look good.
Oh, this is for a 4th gen, too.

Not only can we go eat Applebees with you, we can install roll cages too! But seriously call my brother Al if you want to set something up. 201-638-8846

Think about what you are saying about this roll cage. This item is meant to save your life not to be a bother. Do you really want a piece of junk just thrown together to look good enough to pass tech? You should spend the money once and get it done right. You get what you pay for. I would recommend spending a little extra and having a real professional chassis shop such as Ed Quay put the roll bar in for you. You will not find a better chassis shop to deal with. Car will be done in no time and they have been doing this forever and they specialize in F-body cars.

I've never personally dealt with Ed Quay, but I know he builds some awesome race cars, and have heard good things about his shop at the track. S&W also does a lot with late model cars, so might want to see if they'll do a bar. The chassis shop I use is Race Specialties in Phillipsburg, they might have a waiting list though, I was in there a month ago and they had over 20 cars on jigs.
Call up the site sponsors (Al at TMR or Josh at JS, maybe others do it as well). Its always appreciated to support the sponsors that support this site.
