Default 996 OEM rollbar on a 2011 GT3RS

Will the 996 GT3 OEM Roll bar bolt into the 2011 GT3RS? Any modifications required if I have the Premium hi fi option?

the 996 clubsport bar is different than the 997 clubsport bar. (so are the seats but we already know that)

the 996 clubsport bar was built by Mater (correct spelling?), but the 997 clubsport was build by another contractor.

So the differences in the bars may be slight as i know the front cage sections are slightly different too.

personally i would only use 997 parts in a 997.

Do you have a factory 996 clubsport bar?

Thanks for the answer. I don 't have a 996 bar but the shop installing my stuff has access to one. Looks like I need to hunt down a 997 bar somewhere. I'll have to start searching the classifieds. Once again, thanks for the reply.

The 996GT3 Tequipment roll bar is a direct bolt in for the 2010 Gt3 and RS.

Thanks. I'll have to get more specifics. It came out of a 996 GT3 with the GT3 Recaro Seats. Not sure if that means Clubsport or Techquipment.

Could be either one... if is stainless steel one (unless it was painted / powder coated), it would be the Tequipment bar...

This particular bar mounts to the seat belt holes not to floor plates. Does that make it techquipment?
