GT3 RS Rollbar into 997TT

We're going to be installing a GT3 RS rollbar into a 997TT (along with GT2 seats). For those that have experience...
  1. How will the roll bar affect overall front seat position? Our customer is tall (6' 3") with long legs.
  2. Since the bar will completely block access to the rear seats, do most take out the belts and rear folding seats in the back, for cosmetic reasons?
I promise to post pics when it's finish. Car is white, so we powdercoated the factory RS bar white to match.
BTW, the factory GT3 RS roll bar weighs 38 pounds. Not sure why it doesn't come with floor mounting plates for such a nicely made piece.

It won't fit because it was meant to be installed in a non-sunroof 911. You might get away with modifying it to fit but then why not start with something made for a 911 turbo.

Uh oh. Glad I asked.

Anybody interested in a brand new, factory GT3 RS roll bar, powdercoated white?

I'm, 6'1" and have the GMG roll-bar and it hasn't affected my seating at all. I sit pretty close, but the seat pushed all the way back makes the pedals actually hard to operate.

I had the rear seats removed for cosmetic reasons and also to not get them damaged during the install, but left the rear seatbelts in place as they weren't in the way.
