To roll bar or not on new to me 997.2RS
So here it is. 8000 mile White with gold all stock. Love the way roll bars look in the RS but cringe at the thought of cutting carpet.
Should I leave it stock or put a nice roll bar in while it’s still at Isringhausen? Will it detract from value etc?

Beautiful RS!
I have the BBI roll bar in my car and I really like it. The upper shelf is the only thing that needs cut unless you go with the FVD option that the Greek mentioned. Otherwise there is no cutting involved. It bolts to the front seat belt anchors and is one of the easiest roll bars to fit since it comes in sections. I did it myself in a couple hours and it is completely reversible. I had mine painted Carrara White.

Are planning on tracking it?
Mine has one in it that is currently covered in leather that matches the leather/stitching in the car. If I did not have one at this point I would not add it.

Generally I'd say no roll bar. But that's because I have a fear of hitting my head against the roll bar (even though it's behind you and not next to you). On a carbon bucket car, maybe less of an issue given that you're a bit more stationary in those seats.
I wouldn't be too concerned with cutting the carpet. While I'm sure the carpet is not cheap, I don't think it would go NLA anytime soon so if you wanted to go back to stock, you probably could.
Also as someone mentioned, here's the carpet kit from FVD.

I have your twin. Right down to the miles (8300). I have a white rollbar which came with the car.

Each to their own.. but for me I would only put a cage in a car I was going to track. Otherwise its just an impractical ornament that will either be neutral or negative on the resale (and you will have to somehow convince ppl that you put an aftermarket cage in but never tracked it - good luck with that!).
Beautiful car and congrats btw
