It's also pretty simple to determine the weight of the cage considering DOM tubing has a set weight per foot for a given diameter/wall. To put it plainly, the additional weight is easy to plan for and while I had the time I thought it would be a good idea to go ahead and put it on the scales.

cheers,
Makes sense... Was more responding to everyone who replied "OMG SO LIGHT!" What do you expect the car to weigh in at when all done? 2700-2800?
