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.

I should have worded that better what i meant to say was i made sure my autopower cage met all scca specs before buying it. and i am assuming if you install it how they tell you to it should meet scca requirements. as for as the stamp goes i dont know. is it a sticker that you put on your cage somewhere specific?
