Hanksville Hotrods sells a weld-in kit that looks much better, for the same cost, but then you would need to find a good welder.
I'm looking at that same SE cage to put in this month. Is the only reason you say "I would never race with that cage" because you think the top bar is too far back? Or is there another reason? Thx.

The side bar is so low that it would not do much good if you got t-boned. I'm a firm believer that you need at least two side bars. I'm also not a fan of bolt in cages. Having been in a fairly bad crash during a race, I want a strong cage that will protect me.
