So the Rs isn't coming to the states with a roll bar. Where is the best place to get one and painted to match the ext. color?

Dealer...tequip?, Aftermarket?

 

It's a tough decision. The tequipment roll bar is not available yet from the dealers. I'm going through the same problem. Available choices that will fit are as follows from what I've learned: Das Sport , GMG, or the 996 tequipment bar. Personally, I'll probably go with the tequipment bar from the 996. The GMG Bar looks great and very substantial, just don't know how many installers have experience to get this bar installed. The Das Sport looks good also, installs on the rear strut brace, but from what I've heard, the carpeting in the GT3/RS may be glued down which creates some difficulty in lifting the carpet cleanly in that area.

 

I'm doing DAS Sport. Pics as soon as I get it painted and installed.

 

Go with GMG. I haven't seen finer work.

 

have you seen this?

I second that plus I've had two bars built by them and they are the best.

 

Pics look good but I would want mine painted to match the GT3 RS Green. Are their bars Hans Device compatible? I see they have Recaros with the Porsche Crest.

 

I like the bars. They look great. Who does the painting, want mine to match the orange RS colors.

 

I have recieved two of these bars from porsche, they are hard to get, painting is a different story they come from Porsche as raw material, i have two more on order and its been about 2 weeks now with no sign of when i will see them.

 

they are hans compatible if you tell him how tall you are, how tall your shoulder is at and what seat you use and how high the seat is mounted. it's hard if you aren't in CA. every one of my cars are custom measure there with me sitting the the seat mounted the way i want in to car to get the absolute correct height for the hans belt to cross bar interface, i am **** and picky

 

Yikes! Not as easy as I thought.

 

Does Bumper Plugs paint items like that?

 

Hi Jay,

Can you please tell us something about the process or what kind of modifications are needed to get the RS cage installed in US cars? Plates need to be welded? Drilling? What about carpet? Thank you very much in advance!

 

Is there someone or company that will import the Rs in europen trim?

 

the RS bar will only work with the GT3 RS, other wise you are correct 993nut you need to put a plate in that will accept the bar, cut the carpet and do a few other things that i can quite recall right now.
