Is there anything more pointless than a 'show cage', I think not.

[Ollieh17]

Would still stiffen up the car and for aesthetics. I can think of milllions of more pointless things

[daniel_g]

Show cages are gay though

[Gainzy]

I like that good price to

[jamesglanza]

Looks like a cusco dash dodger to me and says it's iddys old one.

[Ollieh17]

Roll with show cage or roll with out? Bet it helps a bit. No point having one if you dont roll it ;)

[jamesglanza]

A weld in cage is always going to be best but if you did deside one day to take a detour into a field on your roof I would rather have a bolt in cage than no cage at all.

[starletezy]

Haha show cages are for scene Queen's I doubt taking a detour in to a ditch with one of these bad boys will save your life lol

[Ollieh17]

Still better than nothing lol

[starletezy]

Fair point would probably take abit of impact before it crushes you lol

[Ollieh17]

While you face in a standard starlet has already finished being the crumple zone

rollcage requires a helmet plus probably harnesses in my opinion.

no matter the cage or how good it is.

you head butt it and your out.

Will be a Cusco one but almost all regs state the main hoop must be one peice so by cutting it it's not technically a show cage.

[starletezy]

These starlets are like tin cans lol. Defiantly Phil helmet and a good neck brace

[Phil]

I've head butted mine pretty good crack before

Wrecked and I was wearing a helmet lol

Phil

[starletezy]

Exactly what an helmet if for head butting lol

Why would you introduce more metal into a cabin where it's occupants aren't properly strapped in to protective seats, or wearing proper gear?

This one has been modified in such a way where is has weakened the main thing that is supposed to be protecting you. I dread to think what would happen to that weld which has been conveniently covered with a bit of padding should the car roll over. What if it shears? Where do you think the sharp end of the piece of metal tube will end up? More than likely in your, or your passengers head!!

What if it crumples in such a way, that it impedes the exit from your burning wreck of a car? What if you get out, but your passenger doesn't?

I must be getting old, but these are things to keep in mind when fitting fake 'safety' stuff to your car.

Mate your thinking is spot on a cage like that wont save you from anything except just looks and that's what its purpose is. Is it worth putting it in your car I wouldn't for the exact reasons you have stated above.

Proper steel pipes dont shear. Water pipes which are seam welded DO SHEAR
