Search for Cusco or Safety 21.... Those are the only two companies I know of that make them for the FC. However, they are from Japan... meaning it'll have to be shipped over here because I doubt any US company will stock them.

Or you could have a shop fab you a cage... It might even be cheaper than having a Cusco or Safety 21 cage sent to you...

I second having a shop fab up a cage. This is what I have done when I need one. (if I don't have the tools/shop on hand to do it myself)

Any metal fabricating shop can do it usually - it's not very complicated stuff. Make sure the proper size and material of piping is used, as well as the mounting flat plates.
Like Infini IV said, it usually turns out cheaper than buying a "weld it yourself" cage kit. Beware when shopping for these, as some may not be up to standards in terms of the tubing being used, and many do not fit as well as described.

just get the autopower 4pt and add the additional bars do it, the 2 behind the seat and the down tubes towards the front of the car, the tubing is cheap and you can get a notcher to do it yourself on ebay for cheap too. otherwise autopower sells a kit to convert to 10pt, but you need to do alot of fab work
