Hello Kevin,
Thanks for your inqury. Installation prices vary widely depending on how prepared the vehicle is when you bring it to us. If we have to take ot the dash, interior, gut doors modify fuel filler neck etc, then that all gets billed @50.00 per hour. $1,650.00 is the where the installation with cage kit prices begin if the car is ready for cage install. Remember that not only does the cage have an impact on safety, but it also has an impact on the rigidity of the vehicle, and since we have a dash bar, and our door bars go behind the dash we believe our cage kit is the best on the market for stiffening the vehicle as well as being safe.
We have over 10 cars locally that you can see and we also have a show car in house that you can see, touch and sit in to see our products quality and fit and finish. We can also provide you with reference customers throughout the country on any of our products.
As an FYI.... most cars leave our shop right around the 2K range once we do all the other cage related items that need to occur such as:
Flatter rear stock seat mounts
Fit seat
Fire Plates
Steering Shaft Adaptor
Install Window Net and Mounting Kit.
If you would like to come by and see the in house vehicle, or have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Thanks.... Sean

thats the email i got back when i asked about the cost.
and about labor rates... well there are a lot of tuner shops but they all are more specialty and people wanna take there miata to a miata shop... not a Chevy tuner shop.... so you pay for their knowledge of the car and the confidence they'll do it right the first time (at least that's how i see it... but yeah we kinda get jacked) i asked the welder at my work if hed wanna take on a cage install and he thought i was nuts... not that he can't do the work but because he has no experience with a miata or cars really... but then again a real craftsman should be able to apply his skills to anything #-o :roll:
