Can't see the point in having a dash dodger, if your going that far to install a full cage why sacrifice safety just to miss the dash

totally agree the whole purpose of a cage is IF god forbid you need it you want it to do its job and NOT just to crush aswell and restrict your exit even further due to not having a hole in your dash.

I wouldnt say a rollcage is that safe in a road car. Great for roll over protection but you get in a normal prang and your not wearing a helmet you will probably do yourself more damage than it not bring there.

Personally id never have one on anything but a track car

That is true, big bar to wack your noodle on if your not wearing a lid

But then why do you need a cage if it's not a track car ;)
