Bolt in as in bolts to the floor pan or bolts together?
Try autopower for a roll BAR, but typically cages need to be custom made.
Bolted to the floor pan with welded hoops is fine, bolt together jungle gyms are pure **** and not worth a dime (they don't do anything but look stupid)

Anything quick and snap in will not protect you from anything. All it will do is come apart when the car rolls and launch all the tubes in every direction.
Roll cages need to be WELDED together. No bolts at all.
Get the SCCA general competition rule book or the NASA competition rules books. Read whats required of a good roll cage.

bolt in roll cages are for show. like apc showtubes or whatever. if you want a real roll cage, it has to be welded in, expect to pay between $4-7000 and losing some interior.

$4-7k thats pretty hefty you can get chromoly (the best material for roll cages) tube 6 - 8pt roll cage just around $1,500 shipped. Not all roll cages are custom, if they already have the mold all you need to is assemble/welded to the car.
