Default rollcage in 2000 Mustang GT vert

i thinking about at some point in the future putting a 4 point , maybe an 8 point , it all depends on how much destruction is involved to the int. anyway my car is a 2000gt vert , leather int. has anyone attempted this install.

For a cage it really depends on who does the install, I've seen some 4 point installs that were completely butchered and some 10 points that looked like they came that way from the factory. You need to find someone who has experience doing it with mustangs and decide what you need for your goals, its a ***** to install a cage properly and won't be cheap, but get it done right. You might look to full length subframes first depending on what mods you have and are planning, what is your current setup and what do you plan to do in the future?

I have a 99 Cobra with a 6 point cage. The door bars swing out and it has the 5 point harness bar on it. I love it! You get much respect pulling up to a light. Oh and the safety is a plus too, lol. It will stiffen up the body quite a bit too. Just make sure you do it with the 6" welded in plates. Attached is a link to the only pic I have that really shows it at all.

Thanks. SVP Unlimited owner Paul Becker came up with the idea of white FR500's. Then Jason Nance, his shop manager painted them. They are awesome. Yes the doors swing out, and the 5 point harness bar is removable. The drivers side comes with 2 bars, one high bar and one low bar(only 1 can be in at a time though). The low bar is even with the seat bottom. I usually leave that one in cause it's easier to get out. It is dropped, Kenny Brown progressive rate springs(2" drop I think). And No I didn't do the cage. A company called Springfield Motorsports in DC did it.
