Default 993 RS Roll Cage Question

Hello. I am in the process of converting my 95 Carrera into a Carrera RS. I have been searching everywhere for a WELD-IN (not bolt in) roll cage that is almost exact to the Supercup cage. Does anyone know who would supply a cage that fits exactly like the one im asking, even knowing I need to cut a section of the dash? Thank you.

You could go custom or you could go with Heigo. My Heigo is welded in and its the RSCS model.

I would try to seek out an original 993 Cup and take plenty of photos of the cage, then seek out a cage builder who can replicate it exactly. You will not find that cage for sale as a kit.

Standard RS, did not come with a cage. I have an RSCS which came with the factory welded in matter rollcage.
The only difference between the CS cage and that in the car cup car is the single diagonal door bar on the CS, against the double "X" diagonal on the cup...as far as I can tell anyhow having had the 2 cars side by side.
With respect to cutting a section of dash, the down bars go through the air vents,,,hopefully photo attatched.

Thank you for all of the fast replies. Is there any chance that you can post up more interior pictures (mainly of the cage) on your RSCS? I'm going to do a custom cage since I can't find one anywhere, and I need as many details as possible. Thank you again!

Kevin Roush of GAS Motorsports apparently sells a copy of the Matter cage with thicker tubing.
