The only difference between the S&W "drift" cage and the normal 10pt cage is that the drift cage has a wider main hoop and halo for cars with no interior. The dash bars are the same on both models in that the bars run straight down and not the curve-around design.

You will need to cut the stock dashboard if you want to reuse the stock one.


If you want to use the dashboard without cutting, you can custom order the drift cage with the wrap around a pillar bars, but FYI this will only help you not cut up the dashboard. Once you weld the bars in there is no way to take out the dashboard.


Another option you can do is order the rear half of the drift cage without halo, a pillar bars, and dash crossbar. Not as good protection but will let you remove the dash.
