Default Availability of OEM Roll Bar in U.S.?

I plan on moving back to Canada from Europe this summer and getting a 996 GT3.

Is it true that the OEM 996 GT3 roll bar is no longer available in the U.S.? If this is true, should I bring one (or more) with me when I move back to Canada?

While I'm at it, is there anything else I should bring back with me???

You are talking about the Porsche Tequipment roll bar, part number 996.580.981.00, correct?

I don't know the current availability but try a US dealer like Sunset Motors in Oregon, USA. They have great prices.

You can always buy a used one from a fellow Rennlister - they pop up every once in a while with prices between 700 - 1000 $ . Shipping with Greyhound is cheap

I actually have one that I am going to sell already out of the car.

It is a Tequipment roll bar for the 996 GT3.
