Just got a custom roll-cage installed.

What color should I paint it. Was thinking about going with the car color "True Blue" Or, should I match the interior?

That looks really good! Paint it flat black, or dark charcoal to match the interior. Flat black would look best imo though.

Why do you need a cage?? Low ET's?

Tough call if you paint it to match the interior some people may not see it esp if you pull the sidebars out when on the street.

Very impressive, that should stiffen up the chassis a lot plus have that added safety.

I've been through the woods flipping through the air and taking out trees...accidents happen and a cage can save your life, thats a pretty good reason. Nice job on the install. How much would it cost to install on my car?

A cages can be more dangerous than no cage if you don't have a harness and a helmet on as well. Each peice of safety equipment required per NHRA (and others) rules are designed to work in conjunction with one another. With a cage the factory "crumple zones" are no longer effective, so more force is transfered directly into your body, and without a harness to hold you to the seat you can get thrown around quite a bit (often times hitting your head, thats where the helmet thing comes in).

Of course, a cage w/ door bars will probably help if you get t-boned.
