Looking great. Do you know how much weight you saved excluding the cage?
Also thanks to Mahler for bringing up the HANS issues. I'd never heard of that before. So would I assume that you need to go and have a fitting with your cage builder and HANS device at the ready?

HAWT! A huge investment there.
As for NASA, those bends are certainly not up to spec. -
NASA rulebook 2009.7
sec 15.6.5 Bends
None of the tubing may show any signs of crimping or wall failure. All bends must be Mandrel type. The center radius of the bends may not be less than three (3) times the outside diameter of the roll cage tubing.
. But, since you've gone up in tubing size to accommodate, you might be forgiven by the NASA scrutineer (Not exactly helping weight loss though) .. For SCCA on the other hand..... You might run into trouble. I think SCCA might also require leg protector bars (Front of cage to wheel wells) depending on your class. But I didn't see you mention anything about racing in SCCA, so no biggie.
Still.. Awesome equipment as well as car. Fantastic. Good times comin for you!

Looks from pictures that driver door bars are unsupported at the sill. I hate when pro cage builders do that.
