I purchased a kit from Jegs. The fit was OK. http://www.jegs.com/i/Jegster/550/941001K/10002/-1

I put in a 4 point bar from Autopower. Fit was good. Only had to cut 1 - 2 inches off each leg for it to fit. I am running a full interior. If the interior was not going back in the car I may not have had to cut on the bar.

I don't remember who's I used other than "West" was in the name. I shortened the Legs as said above and recently moved the Crossbar higher to allow the rear compartment doors to open. I'm also running a full Interior. If I was to do it again I would probably get a C3 specific kit and or only have them Tac Weld the Bar.

I checked my picture files but currently do not have any pics. Let me see what I can do in the next few days. The funny thing is I completely refurbished the interior but the only pictures I took were of the bare interior and not the finish product.
