YUP---weld is the only way...you could get bolt ons, and later get a exhaust shop to weld them in, also.

Just remember when welding in SFCs, make sure the shop that does it lifts the car on it's suspension, NOT by the frame. Optimal results are obtained w/ welded SFCs that are installed with the car's weight on the suspension.

Yes, but do to be extremely backed up they had to be put on hold so we could continue to fill orders. Now that the season has calmed down we got a chance to finish them. They are completed and pictures will be posted as soon as we get them back from powder coat.

We would like to have a 93-97 LT1 Convertible car for fitment verification. We have a one in the shop not to long ago and everything fit then, but we made some minor adjustments. I am pretty sure they are actually the same underneath but I would like to double check. So any LT1 Convertible guys I can make you a good deal

The first ones to come out are the 2-Point version, hopefully to have a 3-Point version next. It will tough under the convertible chassis.
