i think what he meant was.. his das sport RB will fit both 996 and 997 with or without sunroof.

 

Beware. There is a DAS bar designed to only fit non-sunroof cars. Be sure you're getting what you want.

 

I guess there are options on the DAS bar.

 

Hey guys, my DAS Sport bar will fit either a 996 or 997 with NO sunroof.

If you have a sunroof this bar will not fit your car. When you order a bar from DAS Sport you have to specify if you have a sun roof or not.

That being said, a DAS Sport bar made for a car with a sunroof will fit a car without one, but not the other way around because the non sunroof bar is taller!

I hope that clears things up.

 

justin your right.. only the sunroof RB will fit both the sunroof and nunsunroof 997's. the other way wont work

 

I forgot to take a pic but I finally did today! You can see how much space there is for you to stretch out. Factory RS seats and bar. Sorry for the bad pic!

 

Thanks Khalid for the pictures

i got the GMG roll bar after all but i am having one heck of time trying to install it. i just can't get the damn bar up over the back seat "hump" without busting a hole in my roof. anyone has any idea or tips on how to get the GMG roll bar fitted in the back? i might get the OEM bar if i can't get this thing installed lol

 

Contact GMG. I'm sure they'll help you.

 

Congrat guys, This is an excellent thread, with lots of information!!, I'm ready now to buy a RB for my 997 GT3 that i use for track and street (I also will buy a set of 996 GT3 race seats and 6-point seatbelts), and after reading all the feedback, I'll say the scenario for me is:

1. TC Design RollBar: Pros: good structural design, good quality. Cons: Requires Special installation (a problem for us not living in NoCal)
2. RS OEM Bar: Pros: good structural design, OEM product, can grow to a full cage if needed later. Cons: Requires special installation (welding), can get get noisy.
3. GMG Bar (with optional rear strut bracing): Pros: lighter material, structural design seems very good (my only concern is the strong bended tube in the main loop). Cons: busy design, I would prefer if they delete the rear seatbelts supports.
4. Dassport Bar: Pros: cheaper, simple and clean design, easy installation and doesn't squeaks. Cons: structural design maybe not the best one, relatively heavy.

Tought decision!!, everybody has some strong points. For me is either the OEM RS bar or TC Design (both with great design and quality), Hey, can anybody recommend a good installer in South Florida? is there a way to prevent or stop the squeaky noises from the OEM bar? Weigth is always a concern but not a priority in this case, Welding?, well that is a PITA but what to do?.
Dassport Bar would be a great choice if concerns about the structural safety of the design can be removed.
Anybody has more on this? thanks,

 

Just from looking at the picture, can't you angle the top down so the two rear legs can go over the hump? I took my GMG bar last month and it wasn't too hard with a friend's help. Congrats on the bar though.

 

OMG Kevin, you guys must be great at installing roll bar or i just suck lol. we tried every angle possible to get the damn thing fit and it will not. my friend any i worked on it for hours and my whole body aches! i gave up. removed it from the car ... spray water on it to see if it shrinks

will give another go after taking some muscle building supplements ...

 

mike, from the angle in that pic.. cant you just get the highest point and tilt that backwards? tilt those veritcal legs 45degrees and push the tip of the rb all the way back to the glass, then tilt the veritcal legs back to up/down.

 

I'm no expert but and have never installed a rollcage but can't you strap the legs with one of those ratchet type straps so it gets in easier?

 

I need OEM RS 4130 chromo roll bar and rall cage ijjijiji it will be the best !

 

Any luck putting it in?
