Harness Bar
I want to install a Brey Krause R1030 harness bar in my car. Their web site says the bar can be installed "without damaging the car in any way" but at the very least it appears that holes must be cut (or slits made) in the carpet to access the mounting points over the rear shock towers, or the carpet must be removed completely. Does anyone know of a source for factory carpet that I could modify so that I could save my original piece if I ever sell my car (god forbid). Or, I'm open to other suggestions....... TIA.

I had to/decided to cut slits into my carpet, but it does hide the bolt heads and attachment hardware. I suppose I'll have to buy a new carpeted trim piece when I sell/trade the car but it looks pretty clean when the bar is not installed. I can attach the bar for the track in less then 20 minutes.

Mike,
You can either remove the carpet piece that covers the shock towers or cut it. I decided to cut mine, so I ordered a new one from the dealer in order to have an uncut one to put back in the car if I wanted to sell it.

Karl,
Another question for you. What do you think of the Brey Krause harness truss bar? A bit cheaper and less obtrusive than the R1030. Drawbacks?

It is only for 993 and earlier cars. I looked into it because it is pretty slick. The problem is the factory sliding seat beat shoulder mounts that the truss uses for anchorage.
