Wolfe Weld-in 4-pt roll bar install in my 02 vert
Alright guys, I purchased a wolfe weld-in 4pt roll bar for my 2002 SS Convertible. I began install when I received the kit on Jan 5. I would have had to finished a lot quicker but I ran out of paint and had to order more. That set me back about two weeks. I finished the entire install yesterday. I painted it to match my body color. I think it turned out pretty sweet. I bought some roll bar padding off E-bay. Figured it needed something else, so I had my mom make me some covers for the padding. I bought all the material and zippers at Wal-Mart. Check it, let me know what ya think.
received on Jan 5. ready to get started
pulling up the carpet
test fitting the rear brackets
my dad helped me with some welding. (he's better at welding than I am)
all welded together
home made paint booth
primed
finishing up painting
finished painting and clearcoat
bolted the rear bars to the seat belt bolts
welded in and painted
I bought some padding off e-bay
My mom helping me make the roll bar covers.
Making some custom roll bar covers
putting the roll bar covers on.
Cut the carpet to fit around the new roll bar
There is like 6 inches of snow here right now. I'll get some outside shots as soon as possible. Thanks for looking. Don't forget to tip your waitresses...

It'd be hard to do with the seats in, if not impossible. To get the carpet out of the way enough to weld in, you pretty much have to remove the seats. It's a simple job to get them out though. 4 bolts per seat plus one quick-disconnect wire on the drivers seat.

It's like a nylon material. I went to Wally World and found something I thought would hold up. I bought enough to do everything twice (in case of screw ups) for around $6. The zippers add up though. I ended up spending around $20 for zippers.

I can't say yes or no. Over the winter I installed Koni shocks, Strano springs and the roll bar all at the same time. Rollbar probably didn't stiffen it up much, if any. You'd want a 6pt for stiffness or subframe connectors, which I will purchase soon.
