guys I was in a bad accident with a friend of mine a few weeks ago and am still recovering. He had a small subaru and it got killed being t-boned only at 30 mph. so I want to install more protection for myself in my 96 celica gt by adding reinforcement cage inside. can it be done???

true...true....i was thinking more on the rolling part of it....2 very close friends of mine died last christmas in a s2000....had the roll cage come sooner it might have saved their lives....he had it lowerd and it bottomed out going through an intersection...when it came back up the ass end got loose and he spun and rolled clipping a tree and completely riping the whole top of the car off....for an average accident though i could see why it would be more harm then help Honestly, the biggest thing you can do is not speed on the Blvd. That is such a terribly designed street that has claimed MANY lives over the years. Yet people still street race up and down it and drive like maniacs from light to light. For a cage to work, you need to be strapped in so that you don't slide out as the car rolls and you need to wear a helmet at all times. Totally pointless on the street since most people find it too much of a hassle to even put on their seat belt. Wear your seat belt, dont ditch your air bag for a cool jdm steering wheel, and drive safer. Those 3 things will do more then some roll cage in the event of an accident.
