It looks super hawt and the cab could always use a bit more rigidity PM me and I'll tell you how to get the "different" roll bar for the cabs since it's NOT the same....

I can't tell if the roll bar is Brei-Krause, but many Boxster owners install them- and the big advantage is that they are removable.

I have asked and not received an answer yet from my local PCA chapter, whether the pop up rollbars on the cab meet the "broomstick" test required by many chapters. I could not drive my Boxster S at PCA events without a Brei-Krause rollbar (or with the optional hardtop).

Anyone have any experience with whether the pop ups qualify or am I relegated to Friday at the Track events only?

The rollbar is a factory Porsche Tequipment part that is removable but not easily.

Here is a TTcab we did a couple months ago....
The bar was cool, but I was not able to put the stock seat back far enough for me (5'11-160LBS). I would need GT3's for it to work....

The BK bar for the Boxster is actually an extension on top of the existing roll bar. It is easy to put on and take off. But there really is no reason to take it off as the soft top goes up without trouble and the hard top goes up without trouble.

As for the PCA, it is track and not club specific although some PCA chapters have requirements that go beyond the track requirements. In SC NC, the pop up roll bar is good enough for the cabs and no BK for the Boxsters, but at VIR (with Potomac), the BK needs to be on the Boxsters.

Even at my cost I still can't afford them......
Honda CBR600RR>GT3 Seats
In other words, I am saving for the bike and can't afford to blow it on seats
