My friend used to have an AutoPower "drop in" cage, and I've always looked around on where to get them.

I have a gutted hatch, and figured I might as well get something like an AutoPower or Cusco one that bolts to frame, because I don't plan on putting rear seats back in, and would like the extra support, safeness, chassis-stiffness, and cool look, LOL.

Not to mention a place to attach the racing harnesses I plan on getting.

if you decide on the bar i suggest auto power.. ive read some s**t about the cusco one not being that great of a cage.. IF you go autopower give mark or ken a call at IO-Port racing.. ive bought two cages from them.. EXCELLENT customer service.. ;)

Do you know of a website for the AutoPower stuff or any additional info on their cages, pics or anything? I dunno if they have just one type that goes behind seats, or maybe a more comprehensive one. I have enough space to fill, just wondering if they make the equipment to fill it.

So I'm looking on the IO port racing site (which KICKS ASS by the way, I WILL be purchasing through them...) and they have some extensive cages.

You're looks like a fairly simple 300-ish dollar one that goes right behind the seats... I was just looking to see how I could take advantage of my open space and maybe get a big 6 point one, but this one confuses me.



That basically just cages the driver + passenger in, and the way that cage is displayed, is as if the car were looking forward at us? it looks like the 2 diagonal bars go back to the rear shock towers.

I dunno. That's pretty nifty though. I remember asking you about the camera mount before, and this is sweet. I think I'm gonna do a cage and 2 camera mounts, one for video when I do autocrossing and what not next year, and another for still camera (my digital Rebel) and use a remote to take the pics.

:D

Yellow is authentic JDM, clear is OEM or a Repo re-manufactured.

If you wanna go a cheap, good looking route, buy the clear ones and buy some yellow glass paint and just paint them.

I don't know if I've said this yet, but that is pretty close to what my civic would've looked like if I had kept it..... Only in CGP and with the CTR side mirrors and lip..... :P :thumbs up

yea that was what i was thinking...go buy the clear ones for $120 and paint them....

what kind of paint...the transparent paint from the hobby store? will that work...or is there a specific paint...how about a yellow film...

actually :nono:

the square fogs for 96-98 came as a dealer option and were available in all trims in both clear and yellow ;)
yellow ones are just harder to come by..clear ones are no less jdm just because they r clear ;)
