Lightbulb 993 Half-Cage

Have been looking through a ton of old posts to find photos of 993s with Half-Cages and Roll Bars but haven't had as much luck as I'd like.

I know Matter are no more but that Heigo are still a valid option. I've also found out about DAS via a search on here.

Ideally I'm looking for a bolt in, with harness bar, that I can paint in body colour.

Would anyone like to share some photos of their P&J with cage/roll bar fitted?

A DAS bar is certainly the best choice for US 993/964 owners. I'm not certain how prevalent they are in Europe, though.

Aribop - thanks for the photos - that looks excellent.

Mark - your comments are spot on - unfortunately, as far as I can tell, there are no DAS retailers in the UK

Ian - I've contacted Heigo and am yet to hear back. Which version do you have? If I go for the Heigo, would want the one with the harness bar. Also, my 993 'currently' has a sunroof, so it would need to fit a car with a sunroof.

Does anyone have a photo of a Heigo cage with the harness bar installed?

I have the DAS, it's a good cage for the money, but doesn't stiffen up the car as much as I wanted it to.

Aribop where did you get the carpet where the seats were? I need to get some for my car.

Those pieces are actually the rear floor carpet that I trimmed and had an upholstery shop put some binding around them.

Thanks. I've been trying to find a solution of it. I know RSD cars have carpet where the seats should be, but I can't find the part numbers.
