If you have the OEM cage, please post some pics.

Thank you!

If Izzone is serious I guess he is stripping his car for weight savings and getting it in spec to go PCA and PBOC racing.

Every time i take a part out Giesha feels lighter, was tinkering inside today. I did find a fair amount of lawn clippings

Why it's much easier for Giesha to lose weight than it is for me, Giesha doesn't drink beer

Yes, a dealer will absolutely ding you for holes in the floor if they see them. Two different dealers deducted almost $5k for the holes in the floor of my 996 GT3. I eventually negotiated that down to $2500. Unless you need or want the front section why not just go with a GMG, RSS, or DAS bar? I believe all three bolt in with no drilling.

Maybe there are some liberal dealers out there that won't penalize you but I think it is safer to assume they will and consider it a win if they don't.

Private party sale is a different story and you should be able to see your Riv blue private party when you go to sell.

What can be so bad with 3 holes each side ? Just seal them up if you take the roll bar out....done! We seal up holes in boats all the time...a car surely can't be that hard.
