Sure bolting wont be as strong but it is still bolted using 4 bolts into the frame for each bar. In no way is it for show. 
Show would a chrome bar that bolts to the fiberglass.

I'm not very keen on bolt-in bars. I figure if you are going to go through the effort, might as well get the strongest one you can get. There's a reason why major race associations (NHRA, IHRA, etc) specify welded-in roll barsSure bolting wont be as strong but it is still bolted using 4 bolts into the frame for each bar.

Mine is welded in
Not that you have to worry about that Dep
They say you don't need one if you push it down the track

Looks like good work to me! Seems like a good way to go if it's not a dedicated track car and you want to be able to remove it in the future without a cut-off wheel!

Why on earth did you bolt it in when you already had access to the frame for welding, you did weld on those base plates. Why not take out the bolts and weld the whole thing down? The bolts offer no shear strength, the cage will jsut snap off. I don't think you used some kind of dowel to help relief this shear strength issue? No bolted setup will ever be as strong as a proper welded cage.
Here's mine, thought I was done but I need to add a bar for the shoulder harness, will do a V type setup to get some more triangles in there amd to clear the dry sump tank, don't want to do a horiz. bar in the rear.

it's just a couple of alu sheets mounted on the whole frame under the car. A long way from finished. Today i added the last section of my cage structure, a big X in the rear to mount the seatbelts on, had to do an X because a diagonal bar wouldn't work w/ the dry sump tank. If only my pics were approved
