Looks good man. When you go to the track and they run the tech inspection, do they check out the plates you used and the welds etc.? Just wondering because I did mine myself and wasn't sure if I needed a licensed welder to do it up for me. It came out fine though.
Also how much room is there between the main hoop and your roof? It was a tight fit for me, but I guess it's better than being too close to your head

I don't think they check your cage too much. They will tell you if there is something wrong with it, if its obvious, but I don't think they get down and dirty. There is about 1/2" gap between the loop and the headliner. I made mine a tight fit too so I can retain as much room in the car as posible. 98ctr

I got a gt35r that I need to install, and make a 3" downpipe instead of the 2.5" that I have now. 98ctr

I hear ya, better safe than sorry and I beleive there is a limit as to how low the main hoop has to be. Here's a few shots of how close mine is as well. it was a tight squeeze.
