The only thing I would suggest is a bit more triangulation on the inside, primarily at the b-pillars.

What do you want to be different?

How much of the roof is missing?

Would it happen to be cut like this?



Minus the back door?

I don't know, I've never asked. They have a phone number on the site.

Do you have any idea what kind of design you want?

You can put that 8 point cage in for 800 bones and it'll do just fine. If you want to come back later, hack the back off and add tube you can but it'll keep your head safe in the mean time...

I don't see you making a 'cheap' cage the way you want it on the first go-around.
