Adding an "Oh S#it" handle

For some odd reason, my SS sedan did not come with an oh **** handle. My LT had one so why doesn't my SS?

I Imagine the mounts are there, has anybody added one?

my 2006 SS had the handle, if you have side curtain airbags you cant have the handle as the curtain bags block the screws from going in the ceiling mounts

While going through an auto x course with a passenger, they do not have much to hold onto. Also my GF will sometimes brace herself on the headliner (right where an oh **** handle should be) My LT had a factory one just above the door, although It did not have side airbags. Good point Stevo
