Bolt in roll cage? Anything can use with stock interior?

I was recently looking into a Solo Trials event which is a higher speed autocross event and that's pretty much the extent of what I know about it. It looked like a lot of fun and I was pretty excited until I started digging into the rules and saw that cars in modified category, which I run in SMF, are required to have a roll cage. This got me wondering what roll cages are available for our cars or if those with roll cages built there own. The idea of being able to bolt one in and remove it if I want while retaining full interior sounds like an idea. However if I am going to get a cage it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to get one that will be sufficient for any safety requirements. I just don't know much about them yet to be honest. Any input on this would be appreciated.

Had I known this one was available, I would not have put in the passenger seat after re-carpeting.
