4 point roll cage for third gen

Where can I get one? I've been looking around and all I see are 6 to 8 point cages. I don't want bars running down next to my dash, all I need is a two post roll bar running across the back seat with two support bars running back into the hatch area, I know somone makes them because I've seen several around but I can't find any on the internet. It will be used for road racing, thanks

I noticed that they had a bolt in setup instead of weld in. How is that compared to most sanctioning bodies when it comes to passing tech?

Not sure about that one actually. Someone recently posted about the Autopower rollbar on the chassis/suspension forum. It can't be further back than the third page. I would suspect the weld in would pass tech but the bolt in would not, but that is just a guess.

Last time I checked they may have verry well changed it since then But In a unibodied car a cage can be bolted in with the use of two 6"x6" steel plates one on the top and one on the underside of the floor. They have to bolted together with the use of 9/16" grade 8 bolts or bigger. But once again not sure any more I welded my cage in.

not just the floor pan mounts but at every joint it looks like there are bolts and zero welds.
