Re: Wolfe roll bar install Did you get the Bolt in cage? that is what I am looking at picking up. Did you happen to weigh it or note the shipping weight? Just need to find out how much I have to take out to offset the added weight of the cage <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">
Thanks,

You can't still use the speakers if ya "cut them out". <img src="gr_tounge.gif" border="0"> I agree that the cage is a quality unit. A friend and I installed a bolt-in 6-pt. in my '98 T/A in his driveway, and the clearances were perfect. It's just a lot of time to install. We pulled my rear speakers altogether since we did have to cut holes in the speaker covers. I couldn't tell a difference in the sound, though.

Re: Wolfe roll bar install Memphis, I agree. Me and my Pops installed my Wolfe 6pt bolt-in. in roughly 2.5 hours. That's including the time it took to remove and install the interior. The Wolfe unit is definitely recommended! Here are a few pics:

Re: Wolfe roll bar install All I had to do was to remove the bigger of the two speakers in the rear. Mine required no cutting or clearancing to the rear plastic panels at all. I know some people have had to trim thiers a little. Weight about 65 to 70lbs. Shipping weight 78lbs.(writing on the box) Little to no difference with rear speakers removed. Hope this helps.

Wolfe roll bar install Installed the Wolfe roll bar last night, & hands down, those boys did their homework! The cage fit perfectly everywhere. We didn't have to cut, beat, massage, or cus at anything. this is truly a "bolt in cage." Anybody looking for a cage for a street car your search is over, this is it!

Re: Wolfe roll bar install Thank you John. I had my Auto Body shop get the color code from my VIN# and match the paint the exact same color as the car, GM Bright Red. I use Zaino on the cage too! <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">

I know that the main hoop would have to be welded in to be NHRA legal. I'm not sure if the side- and crossbar would have to be welded also, but the main hoop is a definite.
