well for local (texas stuff) anything with door bars will work i.e bolt in stuff but if you plan on going to any pro-am or other fd related stuff you will need a custom welded in cage

pecx maybe able to point you to a bolt in kit but like what nt66 stated, custom DOM cage for pro-am, semi and full pro series.

i would rather just get a full welded in one. not waste money on a bolt in just to end up having to get a welded one. or can i get a bolt in one and then end up welding it together later? or would that not work?

I know a guy here in Cypress that all that custom roll cages and fab work.
He's probably going to do my buddies' 9 point cage for his drag camaro.
and Bob's TE72. Just give me a call to set you guys up. oh and the shop owner has an 800rwhp MK4 Supra for sale too. along with various turbo parts. (mike/N.S.T.) for sale too. will get specs tommorow.

just the full cage from upgrademotoring.com is already $800+ not including shipping. then you have to pay labor if you don't have the welder and/or skills to do it correctly. you also have to make sure those cages meet CURRENT regulations outlined in D1, FD, SCCA & NASA guidelines that are amended annually. e.g. O.D. and material of D.O.M. piping, gauge of tubing and if through dash are mandatory or mandrel bends around the dash are acceptable. you also have to ascertain the minimum number of required points in the cages before wasting time and money.
