The one I have has been painted and in the process the wrap that was on the horizontal bars where the shoulder belts attach is gone. Does anybody know what that wrap actually is and where to get it? I'd look to put mine back to the original look. Thanks

I tried unsuccessfully to find a similar tape material when I was going to have my bar painted. In the end, my paint shop very carefully masked off the tape on the horizontal bar (along with the IVM part number stickers) and then painted the bar. Came out perfect.

I don't have a CS cage, so not sure I know exactly what the tape looks like. But, if it is clear to protect the paint from rubbing of the harnesses, we've used leading edge "helicopter" tape on cages with good success. A bunch of manufacturers make it...3M, ISC. Shops like Racer Parts Wholesale, OG Racing, Pegasus etc sell it.

I've seen two kinds of tape. I've had 5 EU-spec cars with OEM cages: all had a clear matte tape from factory. It's a harder/crisper material than PPF (despite similar thickness) and, like everyone here, I've tried to source the same to no avail. I'm inclined to replace it with matte transparent XPEL PPF (for just that strip) when the time comes. First guinea pig is my 996 which has a white cage and is being restored from shell up...
The black skater-board like tape seems to be a stateside thing. I can't say I've seen that outside of North American cars, whether that's clubsports or full-bore racecars. Suspicion: one of the tuners probably did that with their aftermarket cage at one point and others just copied...
