Default 4-point roll bar for a '78?

Hey all. I was just wondering if someone couple point me in the right direction for a 4-point roll bar custom made for the '78-'82 Corvette. I am looking for something as unobtrusive as possible, and need to consider its placement when designing the boxes for my speakers. I would also like to be able to store the t-tops as usual. How much would a 4-point bar stiffen my chassis? I don't really need the bar now, but I will eventually. How much money am I looking at for such a bar? I wouldn't mind going with a 6-point bar, but I don't like my passengers (or myself) having to climb into the car. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

i was looking into this a while ago. jegs is a cheap way to go, but you have to weld it yourself. its not that hard but if you dont know how i wouldnt try on something that costs $$$. i think it was under $230 for a whole 4 point kit. if you have a shop do it its roughly $1000. its not cheap. the kind i like are the ones with swing out or removable door bars. :cheers:
