first off, i cant seem to find a bolt in roll bar for the 3rd gen anywhere, i just want it mainly for the looks, so it just seems easier, does anyone know of a site then sells them? secondly would a wolfe bolt in for 4th gens fit in? the interiours are pretty close to the same, just not sure if they are the same measurements or not, any help would be greatly appreciated thanks!

No, not to my knowledge (for both questions). If you want to go through all the trouble of bolting in a roll bar, you might as well weld it and have one that integrates with the body better. Or, since you want one for the looks, go buy some industrial 2" cardboard tube, bend it, paint it black, and tape it to the interior with black duct tape. Much cheaper and less work.

 

this may quite possibly be the strangest request i've ever heard. out of the 6 people that have climbed into and out of my camaro with my welded in 6 point cage, only 2 said that they'd want to put a cage in their car after having to bend so much to get in and out of it.

 

Technically, if you take a roll bar out of another thirdgen, you could bolt right through the plates. I have such a bar but it's kinda wierd. It's a six point, but not the typical setup. Two at the kick panels, two next to the rear seats, two before the cargo dip. Has the halo, but no slant bars at the doors. Has a cross bar behind the front seats. When I eventually weld it in, it will be mainly for looks, because I don't know how reliable the structural integrety will be. I have t-tops so it should tighten it up somewhat, but I'm not expecting phenominal results. I originally considered just bolting through the plates, but decided that if this thing was going in, it's going in all the way.

 

IIRC, Kenny Brown Performance has bolt in bars. They are NOT NHRA legal, and they are expensive.

 

a 4th gen fit bar would look horrible in our cars. The interior width(especially at roof line) is much skinnier than ours.
KB is expensve, but they're the only ones I've ever heard making a "bolt-in" roll bar. - Just remember that with a rollbar that has a cross bar you can no longer safely or legally have someone in the back seat.

awesome man thanks! and for the record mines just a cruiser, it doesnt need a roll bar by any means (LB9 auto with 273's) and it doesnt have a back seat anyways, i plan on doing a lopy cam and nice exhaust for intimidation factor, i already got a race car
