Wow, a "JDM" license plate. Get that from ebay? I won't even start on the 6-point cage on a street car. I highly doubt you wear a helmet everywhere.
Lose those two things and your car would would look 10 times less cheesy.

Nope. I don't use Ebay for anything. I purchased the REAL JDM plate form a vendor at the Spring Break Tunner Bash in Daytona, FL a few years back (before they stopped hosting the event there). He had a friend stationed over in Japan in the military, and had 5 sent over to the vendor.
As for the cage... my dad races pro TQ midgets. He told me the same thing when I put it in. So he said if your not going to wear a helmet, to atleast used padding on the cage. So I do. I use the same stuff that he uses in his racecar in my... I just take it out/off when I snap pics.
Keep the comments comming, and thanks everyone!

But the differance is your Dad wears a helmet when his head hits the bar. Your skull will crack like an egg if you EVER get into an accident. I've seen how close the Cusco bar is to the driver position and it's very easy for your head to make contact with it even in a minor accident.
Obviously you are going to do what you want, that's what kids do but hopefully you will rethink the cage before it's too late.

I LIKE THE PHOTO... WOW IM EVEN IN IT TOO.. THE CAGE THING IS A ROUGH SUBJECT B/C IF YOU ARE WEARING A RACING HARNESS AND ITS TIGHTEN AND BOLTED DOWN CORRECT. THEN YOU SHOULDN'T GO ANYWHERE AND IF MY HEAD IS GOING TO HIT THE BAR THEN I GUESS IF I DIDN'T HAVE THE CAGE MY HEAD WOULD BE THROUGH THE GLASS SIDE OR FRONT OR HITTING THE TOP OVER GROUND.. BTW PLUS IF YOU WHERE GOING TO HIT THE BAR THEN YOU WON'T BE IN A "MINOR" ACCIDENT (IF) YOU WHERE WEARING A HARNESS.
P.S. I WOULD MUCH RATHER HAVE A COP TELL MY FAMILY THAT I CRACKED MY HEAD OPEN BY THE CAGE. THEN THE GROUND OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. AND I FIGERGLASS HARD TOP AINT MUCH BETTER...
BTW THIS IS NOT A HATE THREAD
