They are approved by FIA and JAF, and in Japan they are always referred to as "rollbars" not cages (even their "13-point rollbar") because their primary purpose is protection in a rollover situation.
They are not certified by certain groups in the U.S. like SCCA and NASA because in this great advanced country of ours (which rejected the metric system and produced the Ford Pinto) those motorsport clubs have come up with different rules on how they think rollbars should be built. Those rules can change from year to year, obviously a great way to keep local roll cage builders in business.
To the original poster: Everyone here has ADD. Local fabricators around here differ greatly on how much they charge. Some charge $100 per point. Race shops can charge by material and by the hour for labor, so cost can skyrocket. If you're talking about through-dash, painted cage, full interior, spec legal, etc. you are looking at huge variation in cost depending on where you go and how much of the prep work you do yourself.
