what color is your cage?

i need to decide what to do with my cage.

my interior metal is white and i think ill just touch it up and keep it white. cage im not sure what to do. i dont want some crazy bright pink/plaid bullshit. just let it blend in.

thinking maybe an etching primer then flat black.

ideas? thoughts? photos?

I chose to kinda color match my cage to the exterior. It stands out enuf but doesn't have LOOK everybody I have a cage effect. Also I really like white metal interiors but they get fucked up fast when u use them so a light silver can also work. Matte/flat look great if the right paint is used or it can look like a rattle can bag of dicks, Black cages look really great on street cars IMO but if you have a nice cage u wana see it alittle.


Paint I used http://www.mtncolors.com/ It covers great and has high pigment levels. Sorry for all the Pics just wanted to give u an Idea of how it looks

I think an Audi Nimbus grey would look sweet on that cage. What color exterior?

black 6 pt with door bars and used Red roll cage padding...which is now pink thanks to the vegas heat. looks more like a used tampon when it gets dirty though. you guys inspire me to try something new. OP and Russ's came out awesome.

for vegasproam tech, you're going to have to switch out that acid battery, and move to a gel cell setup, in a box, mounted to the floor.

they're very strict on that. im sure you already went over the rule book - but if not just a heads up so you have time to switch it up comfortably.

Forrest always had a bunch of these guys laying around for S-chassis cars. the FRP ones sucked. carbon was dope. his s15 hood had a bunch of bubbles it seemed like in the resin/twill.

rad though! i want first dibs if you ever sell it!
