Roll Cage Costs - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

HufferSS · 11-10-2011, 04:45 PM

I am getting ready to have a roll cage installed and want to be an educated consumer.....I am going to be looking for either 6 or 10 pt cage...most likely 10 if I want to be legal.

What should I expect for a cost...I know there will be variations...just a ballpark from those who have had one built.

Thanks.

Mine was $6k

2 years ago my 6 point was $1950. Thats installed and painted. I thought it was a deal. I even tried to give JW more money. I think Scottywheels was close to 3k but he has a 10 point. My suggestion would be go with the 10. You can use smaller diameter tubing and it looks so much cleaner and it fits nicer. Mine, which I thought looked mint, pales in comparison to Scotty's 10 point. If you go with a 6 point you need the 1 3/4" and then when you need the 10 it'll be to bulky.

pyr0b0y's was like $1,200 painted and installed I believe. But his is just a 4 point cage.

Good information.

So tube size can go down based on the # of points?

Is there an easy to understand spec sheet for a roll cage that will pass NHRA tech?

I'm going to a 10-point pretty soon and i got a quote for around $2.5-3k.

Exactly!

From what I understand:

6 point needs to be 1 3/4" to be legal

10 point only has to be 1 1/2" (I think). Maybe 1 5/8 but Scotty's is tiny.

You know you'll need a 10 point. Don't mess around with the 6. Learn from our mistakes and plan ahead. Do it once, do it right.

mikepage0007 · 11-10-2011, 05:40 PM

i don,t think scotty,s gonna like it tellin everyone his is tiny...lol

If I can find an installer that does it as clean as Scotty's car then I'm in for 10pt.
