If you get the bolt in 6 point you can get it powdercoated. The whole cage bolts in therefore you don't weld anything and won't ruin the powdercoat finish. Jig notching means the end of the bars are notched where they meet so all you do is hold the bars together and weld them. It seems like an expensive option when ordering but you will pay the same if not more if you have the person doing the install to jig notch it.

Check out Wolfe Racecraft faq page there is alot of useful info.

Here are some pics of my 10 point cage.

It is a T/A interior in my Camaro. Just the dash and door panels though. My car is gutted in the inside other than the lightweight carpet.

so bolt in is the way to go but you can still weld the floor plates to the floor boards. and as far as the harnes goes use the wrap around style.

You can still weld in the floor plates if you want with a bolt in. As far as the harness you can use either one. I drilled a hole in bar for the harness mount. What is you reasoning for wanting a bolt in bar if you are going to weld the bottom? you wont be able to take it out anymore and if that is the case you might as well get a weld in.

i want it in the car perminate but like the bolt on cause it is powder coated cause painting a cage in a car is a pain in the butt. also can you still use the rear speakers with the bars going through the pannels.
