It isnt a dash dodger cage, it goes behind the dash, like a weldin cage does, and has the same bends as a weld in cage. Its FIA certified.

do a search on sheetmetal companies in your area far cheaper to buy off cuts from them and they will be able to cut it to the sizes you need and 2.5mm is way over the top i would say 2mm max
