black will blend in and be less noticed, red would be my choice...unless your car is yellow...........

I've been looking at roll cages myself over the past month or so and came accross these guys www.designtek.eu who produce a Carbon Fibre variant .

It has German TuV approval and is claimed to be every bit as strong as a traditional steel cage, the carbon design allows for massive weight savings - the rear section weighs just 4.5kg compared to an average 38kg for the same section of the OE cage.

Obviously its going to be more expensive than the steel cage, but definately worth a look none the less.

Here is the factory rollbar and seats in a 997 GT3, we had this rollbar powder-coated black. We can get any color that you need.

I love the brushed finish on the clubsport (tequipment) rollbar's, but painted is also awesome (M3's was painted Tit. Silver). Anyone have info on that carbon fiber Rollbar? Looks cool as hell, but safety? First time seeing it!

I dont know if its of any concern, but PCAs clubracing requirements are not satisfied by the tequipment bar...so the DAS SPORT bar is the more widely used bar for the track...but the tequipment bar looks WAYYYYY better and is probably lighter in weight...
