That cage the way it is amounts to certain death in the event of an otherwise survivable accident. I own a full race car as well with a cage, but it doesn't have a full interior (obviously) and when I am belted in with my helmet and hans device on in my race seat with my fire suppression system armed, I am safer than you are in your street car. So I get what you are after.

Sure they did a good job of putting it in, but I can't fathom the full interior part, which is going to make it a ***** to remove.

The uprights by the dash are pretty easy to cut with a sawzall, but then they need to be ground flat, and for that, most if not all the material is going to need to be removed. The rest is easily done with an air powered cutoff wheel, but again, the interior will suffer if you leave it in the car.

I personally would not leave the rear hoop in. You will miss the torsional rigidity that the cage is now giving you, but there is no good way to plug the holes from the roof bars in the hoop without again, wrecking the interior.

I'd start with removing all of the interior possible, and masking the rest with heavy plastiv before going to town with air powered tools.

Tons of work!
