I have a Wolfe 6 point bolt in with swing out bars. It was a SOB to get the main bar in. Its right against the roof panel. I thought I was going to break the roof getting it in. 
I didn't like the bottom plates so I machined some plates out of 3/8 steel and channeled them to fit over the under car structure channel.
The only thing I don't like is it fits so tight, it creaks and squeaks when going out of a drive at a angle and the car is flexing.
I would suggest if you got one, try to get one not painted, and modify it with adding a diagonal bar on the main bar then get it powered coated. Or maybe they will custom build you one with it on it. The way it is now, its not very strong for rolling. Its better than nothing. But it can be better with a diagnal bar to keep the main bar from being bent sideways.
