Default Roll Bar for 00 WS6

Im looking for a bolt in style cage for my 00 WS6. I checked Wolfe race craft and didn't see any pics of the 4 pt....Is anyone running this set up, or have pics? Not really wanting the cage with the bar running down besides the drivers seat.

I'm running the 6point in mine and 5 point in a buddies car. I installed them both and they fit nice.
You won't be disappointed with the wolf bolt in cage. I suggest the rear bars going into the speaker holes. It would be easier to install because you won't have to drop the tank. Looks better in my opinion too.

Need a min of the 5 pt for Nhra stuff. Imo I’d just do the 6 so it triangulated on the body evenly, makes the car a lot stiffer too

Not really worried about the NHRA stuff, Im doing this for my own personal reason in case something ever happened. Spoke with Wolfe and they do have the setup I wanted, just didn't have pics on their webpage. Its the same set up as shown here without the bars running down beside the seat.

Been on the fence about putting a cage in. Not sure if I need it yet, but with my new gt45 turbo build, might be time to start installing one. Not sure what point cage i should be getting yet. Still looking around. Now that i have new seats in, id like to get some new seat belt harnesses to go with it along with a roll cage.

I think if your going to do any kind of cage work, go ahead and do it right. 8 or 10 point chromoly. I almost did a 6 point bolt in roll bar, thinking my car would never run faster than a 10.00. I ended up getting a really good deal on a mwc 8 point and I'm glad I did. The car has well surpassed the 10.00 mark and I feel much safer knowing I have a legitimate cage surrounding me.
