Default Just installed clubsport roll bar -- good news and bad news

Just got my car back from Piper Motorsport to have the Mooty special clubsport roll bar and accessories installed. Props to Mitch @ Piper -- did a truly professional job and great attention to detail.

Here's some pics...



























And the bad news...I'm 575 miles away from my car becoming worthless

Good on you for actually driving her.

My 2RS is about to hit 15k, I bet I can't even pay people to take it off of my hands

Bubble wrap the car and put on blocks immediately, car will self destruct and market will look at the car as a leper !

Alternatively tack to the track and do big road trips and get the most from you investment

Nice! I have the same bar but in glossy white. Is that one powdercoated?

Looks powder coated black. It was that way when I bought it. Mooty would probably know more.

Looks like black crinkled finish much like TcDesigns half cage bars. I would guess its powdercoated vs painted with that finish. Mike

Because I just installed my harnesses in my 996 (and have been reading the harness install PDFs from Schroth Racing)...shouldn't the shoulder harnesses cross because it's more than 2 feet from the back of the seat to the connection to the roll bar?
