Sorry my Sony Handicam over exposes everything. I hate it for taking photos.

To my knowledge its a Wolfe chromoly. See I got it used, out of a wrecked SS that was being parted out. I had it installed for less than the thing costs before shipping, guess I just got lucky. I think the carpet was cut with a utility knife or maybe dikes.

Car felt stiffer, and I already had SLP subframe connectors prior to it. Its hard to say as I put a Strano front sway bar on around the same time. Felt a lot better through curvy roads though.

I removed most of the interior before I took it to the shop. Have to take most of the plastic paneling out so the carpet can be moved. Once there, the installer cut the down bars off, the main hoop slid in through the back, with the hatch still attached.
I had it installed at a one man hot rod shop, he did everything. I suppose look for a performance shop in your area that people would recommend, people who have installed one before.

The thing to watch out for is the driver side door bar. Where it gets welded the fuel lines are plastic underneath!!! We had a little fire.
