Default Roll bar for 2000 C5 convertible

I am looking for information regarding roll bars and roll cages to fit my 2000 convertible. Does anyone have experience with any particular brands that fit well and installed easily? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

I would also like to know this. I would want to be able to remove my roll bar and reinstall it when I go to the drags.

Roll bar installs are not like changing tires. Not easy to remove, especially to be legal to 10's. Verts will have to notch the tonuoe (SP?) cover. I am getting my 6 point for my coupe from wolferacecraft in austin, tx. Cost about $1,000.

speekwerks in Lewisville, TX makes a nice one posted on the forum a while ago. I believe it was 2200 install. Has removeable side bars and roll over hoops. Was legal and you did not have to notch the cover.
