you can make weld in plates that are drilled and tapped. You weld in the plates and then bolt the bar to the plates. The bar should be made so the main hoop does not weld/bolt to the floor. A far better place is the angled foward but flat area to eash side of the rear seat area. This makes a far better setup than any bolt in bar that uses seat belt points. Regardless of how strong a bar is it will be hampered by the little seat belt bolts that are in single shear mounting.

Making new weld in plates and installing an existing bar that requires some refab or ajustment would run $300 to $400. Add $50 for hammer finish paint.
