Default Roll Cages! Anyone have them?

Hello all,

I'm looking to install and roll cage into my C5 Z06. I'm a GM Vette tech so I'm quite handy with tools. I have access to a tubing bender but may not have the time to make my own. I came across this "bolt-in" roll bar, also to mount my harness'. Have any of you installed or have any of these?
Thanks!

For drag racing it's ok. For roadcourse/HPDE dont waste your money. I had one and later pulled it and had a proper cage installed. I cut the wolfe out and threw it away.

Yeah, this will be for drag racing not road racing.

I had a bolt-in Wolf Race Craft roll bar before going with a real welded roll cage. The bolt-in is mostly for looks with limited protection. It'll get you through tech and is good for holding your video camera and mount your harnesses, but don't expect much more beyond that....

I'll agree with the rest of them, its best to custom fab one up.

Its also cheaper/easier to buy/trade a car (like mine ) that is already setup.
