Thort they,d be $7-$1000. plus $450 for cert at end of all yr mods.If you pay $2500 then all cage builders will think thats wat we,re happy to pay. Not happy to pay dat myself.

Several years ago yes, you're looking at more like $1700 - $2000 even for a basic cage these days
Full cage can't be certed.Half cage doesn't need to be certed.

Admittedly i havent looked into it much(my 1986 "topdog car racing" race car came with cage from 1992,Here in hamilton (on roadside)Te-rapa rd has cage with signs saying"cages starting at $650"! !. I have a 6 point cage 1992 bolts everywhere,Has Motorsport NZ homoligation number/logbook. Lo volume certifier had to approve front section in A piller area,(padding required)after my Club scrutineer said all good , so read into it wat ya want. cheers
Vince at "fast cars" ! i saw him about a year ago, maybe a year and a half, also heard that he wasnt happy that jason seller's pulled his stickers off the car, i heard of a nasty outcome from that too, though im not sure what to believe, all those guys i knew back then seamed pretty onto it and genuine.

My preferance is either Race FX or Herbert Fabrication, not bargain basement price wise but some of the best design/fab work out there.

Other than scratchbuilt sports cars, such as Frasers and such, it's damn near impossible.
You can have them homologated and covered by a Motorsport Authority Card, but that isn't a Cert.

That's right. no probs getting a modified car certed with a cage but must have an authority card. not a major at all. I have the LVVTA guy coming out in 2wks to start the ball rolling for my new car's cert & log it into the sytem. It's a scratch built but has been previously registered on NZ roads. Airbags are gone, SRS gone, crumple zone gone, entire floor gone, firewall gone. everything gone; sweet.

You have to not mind waiting in a cue & getting a BIG bill at the end of the job. lol. Nice work, yep. too expensive I believe. A friend of mine got a price from TCS then priced from another reputable chassis/racecar builder. the difference was $10000. And yes, you get what you pay for but I would put money down that you could not tell who built which chassis if there were 2 cars placed beside each other with each of them building one each.
