I know some will say here what they think a cage should cost, but you can buy a NASA/SCCA/FIA custom built cage for less than $3k in nearly every part of the country.
Don't worry, we're still planning on making bolt-in cages. Not going to lie, though, people will expect prices to be much cheaper than it'll wind up costing us. It happens in every corner of this industry, everyone wants parts that say, "Made in USA!" but they don't want to pay what it costs to make quality parts in low enough quantities to fill these niche markets. This (tracking 86/FRS/BRZs) is definitely a niche market.
