It's not that bad getting in and out once you get use to it. The 16 Camaro has alot less chassis flex then my 18 Camaro with no cage. The rear view mirror and sun visors are useless.

I had the RPM bolt in that we installed in my 16 SS in 2018. Obviously it's safer than no cage and I about had to use it when I pushed the rear seal out on the big end. Oil got under the Hoosier and she was skating around like an icy road here in Missouri, luckily I learned to drive on icy roads and helped me save it from hitting the wall. I did feel safe with the cage in the car even though it was a bolt in. If you saw the pictures of Pray's car after it crashed on the big end a cage may have saved a life. Many are out there running 150 plus with no safety equipment, so do yourself a favor and put a cage in, at least a bolt in. Just my 2 cents worth. By the way your cage looks very well built and safe, hands down one of the nicer ones I've seen in a 6Gen.

Do you have any pics of your bolt in cage installed? How invasive was it?

Totally agree with this! I have the bolt in from RPM as well and with a race seat and a 5 point harness I feel very safe going 150MPH in this car!
