Thats very questionable. Previous owner did not have it registered for the street, but since it is a '95 the inspection is pretty much limited to headlights/taillights (which reminds me, it has the glass headlights)…
The full cage may be your biggest threat for failing inspection, not to say you couldn’t find someone who interprets the law in a way that allows it.
When I get it out here I will look it over closely to see if anything would fail it outright.
The cage was built by the same shop that did my Del Sol, except the M’s cage was designed and tested in SolidWorks first. This is my friends car with the same exact cage:

Same for many other people. I am really going to wait until after the holidays and then push it on all the forums and possibly ebay. Hopefully better timing for some and for the locals time to make necessary arrangements if they seriously want it.

damn, you have a terrible memory. Of course we played together.
Yes, the white car is Jclark’s. sick nasty huh? This black one was actually owned/built by a Z06 owner tired of being beat up by clark around the track. Built the black one to nearly identical specs as the white and they battled it out.

It’s been years, and fuck man I havn’t even been in CP in ages, you in the ROC now? Hows it been?
J’s car has always been nasty. Back in highschool when he first bought it, we all drove from albany to PA for a bimmerfest. good times. I’ve lost touch with him over the years and I havn’t seen the progress he has made on the car in quite some time. ahh the good 'ol days.
EDIT: and to remain slightly on topic, that black car is dirty. good luck with the sale man!
