Yes, it fits all 718s, you can see the customer show case at the bottom of the CF roll cage pages. There are 718 T, GTS in those photos.

That answer needs better quantification since the OEM clubsport setup is not available in the US.

Oh, Yes, You are right.
After installed SR CF roll cage or Porsche OEM clubsport roll cage, it is about 2 inch being pushed forward from the firewall.

See below photos (OEM steel clubsport vs SR CF roll cage)

It really is a great looking roll bar. Little rich from my blood, but it looks outstanding

14.5 KG vs 11.2KG. SR CF Roll Cage without the anchor only weights 6KG, but due to we want make it FIA 253 Complaint, we have to use high strength steel for those anchor points, which is much heavier.(much stronger too).

Does this work on a 981 GT4 and is there any plan to release the same design (with the same, or similar level of testing) with a different material to hit a lower price point?

I do believe it fits 981 GT4, since Porsche OEM Clubsport is the same part number for both 981/718. We are running an earlier testing reviewer program now, if you would like to sign up as 981 GT4 reviewer, please PM me. We offer decent discount for the program attendees.

Very cool project. Would also be great to see some shoulder belt angles for 6' drivers when using a HANS, to make sure it is 20 degrees or less.
