thanks for the comments.the hoop looks like it is kinda high, but it actually fits perfect under the top. the reason is because once its made into a full cage, the side bars are attached to the hoop just below the bends. the cage is made by a shop in VA (near DC) that works on SCCA, NASA, and rally cars all day long, so where they mounted it is more than likely the best position available on the car. The cage was designed to be functional, not just for looks as this car will see track time. As for autopower, definately the best bang for the buck if you need one, but I preferred this one. And as for the white, it's only a quick and sloppy primer job (as are the front fenders and bumper), so it doesnt rust and I have to sand the rust all down later. the whole car is going to undergo a complete paint job once the new motor is in. I havent had any real seat time in this car yet(and since its a convertible it may be different), but a black interior in a race car sucks in the summer time, white or any other light color is definately the way to go.
