Cage thread
The pics that I posted are toast (pic server went dead); I'll try and replace them sometime in the near future.
I have a Stable Energies bolt-in cage in my Boxster. My only complaint is that it weighs quite a bit. I would have to assume a welded cage would be lighter for the equivalent amount of protection.

Nice looking cage. Beefy sill plates and I dig the halo style main hoop with the triangulating braces. The mitered lengths on your driver's door X-brace match up pretty good too. Harder to do than one might think.

Make sure the welds are 360. NASA is going crazy on that right now. I have gussets (which by all accounts are stronger than a 360 weld without a gusset) and they want me to cut the top to have the top bars of the cage welded 360.
FWIW NASA requires NASCAR style door bars and supposedly will reject the X type if your door has been gutted.
