The bar bolts in.
In Germany the cars come with plates welded in that you bolt the bar to.
Here in the US the cards come without plates, so you have to weld those in first and then bolt in the bar.
A welded in bar is better and with this bar you are welding and still end up with a bolt in bar, but that is how they sell them in germany..

Why on Earth not do all the cars for all markets with the plates?!

First choice would be a local fabricator that does full cages all the time, knows the engineering and the rules ... and what works ... without making a mess of a new street car's cabin trim. www.tcdesign.com
I've used DAS products and been entirely happy with the quality, functionality, price and customer service.

There are numerous high quality bars to choose from but the DAS bar is what I ordered for my 2007 GT3 RS.

I would call Stable Energies. They are the US importer for the Safety Devices Cage. I have pasted a link below for what you want. Both the Diagonal and the harness bar can be unbolted and removed (very useful feature). It comes in a flat black and if you don't put the stickers on the bar (don't) and you cover the screws / bolts with the black caps that they use, it is the best looking (better than OE) and can actually "disappear" with diagonal / harness bars removed - use black 6 pt harnesses that connect to welded in eye rings and all belts can be easily and quickly removed for a stock look. The cage is the real deal and can be expanded with front sections should you ever want to do so in the future.
Like the factory bar, it attaches to welded in plates - the bar is then bolted to the plates - I believe this bar is 1/3rd the cost of the Porsche OE Bar - if you live in NA, you have to have plates welded in as the car is delivered without these plates.
To me, the obvious biggest advantage of this bar versus OE, is that you can retain use of "the back seat space" as the harness bar portion can be quickly unbolted and removed.

- With the bar in, can you seats go all the way back?
- It seems like it has far less support than other bars, as it only has 1 cross-member. (Comments. Not a question)

When you see the quality of the product, the diameter of the pipes and the thickness of the steel used, you will not think the product is under engineered in any way.

The 996 Techequipe bars fits fine. It is all bolt-in with no drilling. I moved the stainless steel Techequipe rollbar from my 996 Carrera to my 997.2 GT3. Install is a little more challenging as you have to do more to install in the GT3. First, you have to remove the rear carpet. Then you have to scrape off the sealer that covers the rear seat belt holes. Then pull the plugs out of the holes. Cut holes in the carpet for the bolts and reinstall. I bought new hardware when we installed it. The only real difficulty with the Techequipe is getting one. Porsche corporate in their infinite wisdom decided to no longer allow US dealers to order them as parts anymore. Hence, the only way to get them now is used. They are allowing you to still buy replacement hardware.
