I'll try to upload some pictures. For some reason it won't allow me to do it on a mobile device.

Is it straightforward to cut the carpet to access the mounting points, or is there a carpet cutting template provided to help?

I was back in Cantrell today getting a track alignment. The bars are now at the powder coater and should be done this week. Colin and I talked about the bar install today. One of my concerns was loosing the rear storage area for say a long road trip. He said with removal of just two bolts on the aft tubes you can remove the cage. Ok it will take a little work but you leave the side pillar mounts in place and just clip out the cage. Fantastic.....
I have Jesse at Sunset Porsche parts looking into Euro Club Sport parts. You should only need the carpet piece and the two lower plastic pieces with the bar cutout. If we could get these we could keep our original factory parts and uses these when we want to go back to stock, Voila !!!

Let me know what you find out about the Euro Club Sport parts. This would be ideal to not have to modify the OEM parts for the roll bar install.

Very straightforward. We will include complete instructions with pictures but just a slit needs to be cut on the rear carpet and a small area on the plastic for the main hoop mounting. When done it looks really nice, like it came that way.

Looking forward to seeing these bars in person. A few rennlisters have been scoping the bars out in person and have been impressed. We're just waiting for the powercoater to finish them up. I plan to start the install next weekend!

It's one batch. We are building and shipping in batches of 10. The next batch goes to powder coat next week.
