In CA and AZ, the limit is 75 and everyone goes 80+.
The epoxy will be around $400 to $500 vs. about $200 for polyester. Everything I have read says the epoxy is tougher, more waterproof, more resistant to cracking, and better in a collision. The extra cost there is offset by the foam being MUCH cheaper than urethane.
There is no rollcage, but I have a rear strut brace and 3-point Sparco belt, and I am putting in heavy side door beams for protection and chassis stiffening. The passenger side is also hinged as a luggage compartment and both sides of the top can be removed for a two seat convertible with no windshield.
The canopy is an acrylic aircraft canopy.
