Ive got a 94 with a wolf cage in it. And I had to cut 3 1/2 in. off the center loop to get it to fit. The cage looks awsome now. I smoothed out the welds and filled them in. From what i can tell it looks pretty close to TonyJ. I would show some pics but im not sure on how to host them. If anyone could please let me know.

here is my 98 WS6 with a Wolf bar.. put it in myself in a weekend. Can't remember price.. You will be cutting your carpet and may as well remove back seats. but they look cool..

Tony is your rollbar a weld-in or blot-in?
Do have the removable rear cross bar?
Is there room for kids in the back seat?

mine is bolt in.. you can get it weld in thats what you want. I do not have a removable rear cross bar. but i do have removable side bars. I never had them in due to how hard it makes getting in and out of the car. I took my rear seats out cuz no one can get back there now. Maybe kids or someone young that can bend well. It was full of sterreo stuff at one time. Now it's just open.

Mines weld in and I have girls climb back there and sit very comfortably. The girls are my age and im 24 so a baby seat or a little child would fit great. I have the wolf cage as well.

I got the bolt-in so I can pull it for resale. It's really stiffens the car, though... Car seat would be the only use I could see for the back seats. Anyone else could crack their heads on the bars.

Here's some pictures of mine (outdated page):

I've had passengers in the back without much of a problem, but you really do have to drive a little nicer as it would be real easy for them to bang their heads.

My 12 year old daughter and her friends fit real nicely in the back.

Go with a Wolfe. Bolt-in is easy to install.
