It's not SCCA approved until a licensed SCCA tech inspector inspects your car and stamps a number into the cage and gives you a log book. No one sells a cage that's "SCCA approved", as everything is taken into account during inspection, including installation, tube diameter and thickness, harnesses, seats, padding, etc.
If the cage doesn't meet the GCR minimums (that were recently revised) for the weight of your car, it's not going to pass tech inspection. The cage in the picture does not appear to be made of 1.5" or larger tubing which is required for a car over 3000 lbs. I could be wrong since I'm just going off the picture, but it does look smaller than the tubing in my car.
Actually, scratch that... I misread the GCR, 1.5" tubing is good only
up to 3000 lbs. 3001-4000 lb cars require 1.75"x.120 tubing.
