Default Looking for an OEM tequipment bar for a 997.1

No sunroof, shock tower attachment points. I know they aren't made anymore but just putting out a feeler before I purchase a Heigo from FVD.

Will also be selling my GMG bar for cheap.

How much for your GMG bar? Will it fit a sunroof car?

Just curious, any reason why you are choosing the Heigo bar over the GMG?

It's certified and the closest thing you can get to an OEM Tequipment bar..

Heigo Clubsport rollbar for GT3

I will have to take a look at the bar to let ya know. I'll travel to the garage later this am. I've installed the same bar in my non RS.1 but don't know if this bar is built taller.

Note: the bar is orange. I have a coater that can strip it and repaint or powder coat for not much money. Perfect finishes.

The Heigo is a great bar. Essentially identical to the OEM IMV bar and made by a German manufacturer affiliated with Porsche Motorsport. The Tequipment bar is a joke in comparison, just a harness bar really. Any bar that mounts to the seat belt holes is essentially useless as far as roll over protection goes.

Thats cool. I want to have it done in silver so I can get it coated or go through your coater.
