If you resell most people want the cage the same way you do anyway. I wouldn't paint it a crazy color, my rule is always, how would it have come from Porsche? So I did satin black. I did the FVD Clubsport copy, bought the aforementioned carpet shelf from FVD as well. Fit like a charm and I stored the original in the basement. I then sent the car and the cage to Colorado to a trusted race shop for painting and install. I was more concerned about getting the cage installed period correctly as well with welded in plates etc. I am sure Isringhausen can get it done for you, they know their stuff. Probably the right time to do it too, When she comes back you will be giddy..

I bought a spare piece of carpet (that shelf piece) from LA Dismantlers so I could keep the original in tact

What shop in CO? Thanks
Doesn’t really have a shop name. I’m sure you know of him. He’s well renowned. Vintage race care prep etc. If you want his number let me know.. |

Definitely needs a cage. Mine came with one and had been tracked. I continue to track it. It likes the track. It doesn't like the road. Too slow. :burnout:

Don't install a cage unless you plan on tracking the car. My GT3 came with a cage and I removed and sold it. It blocked rear visibility, was totally impractical as I was unable to store anything in the rear, I couldn't access the rear glass or area for cleaning, plus if you are not wearing a helmet and get into an accident, you can potentially injure yourself even worse than without a cage. Take advantage of your folding bucket seats! But hey, it's your money and if you like the look, go for it.

I vote yes. I put the OEM rear cage in mine. Painted it grey black instead of red so it's a little more subtle. I think white or gold would look good in yours!

The cars wouldn't have been sold with cages in ROW as a Clubsport if there was a liability or chance of injury. He has a GT3 they don't need cages ;) JK Mr. Rib..

quick question, the FVD pre-cut carpet kit, does it fit in TT if I were to remove subwoofer ?
