600-700 is a typical used price. They are $1000 new.

Good luck, scan the classifieds.

If you are too cheap for anything, cars may not be the right hobby...

gfl tks for the reply--and ep3_lol not so cheap as maybe frugal was a better word, as this will only be used for DE's--

Might be worth checking out the below. Price seems pretty good and it's brand new:

Pelican has them. I haven't seen any used for a while, they pop up pretty infrequently.

We do carry an extension from Brey-Krause:
Boxster Extension
Let us know if you have any questions.

Thank you

The cost of this hobby is a good reason to be frugal. Smart buying and "simply saying no" to un necessary doo dads can cut the price by a lot. That said, the BK extensions pop up rarely. But do keep your eyes out for other stuff you'll eventually want. I'd also suggest becoming familiar with doing your own brakes, fluid, and other consumables.

..And, IMO, if your are not "cheap", ..then you should buy a MP4-12C, ..not a Boxster !

GSR in Southern California make a really nice roll bar extension at a reasonable price. http://store.gospecracing.com/gsraut...extension.aspx

I found a BK bar and padding setup -- I believe I paid just under $500 shipped.

Regardless of whether I have the $$ to do so - I'm always thinking what else
could those $$ be doing for me. So yes you can be frugal in anything you do,
just realize there is cost of opportunity & cost for your time.

There is no reason to pay top dollar for everything -- but my wife always
reminds me -- don't swallow a camel and choke on a gnat.

There is always someone clearing out their Champagne collection at good beer prices :-)

If you're patient -- I'm sure you can find something.

Have I mixed enough metaphors yet?

@The French Dude : Merci, ..thanks to you, j'ai trouvé la BK barre que je cherchais, and this, at an attractive price !

Roll bar extensions rarely pop up used, and the cheapest I have ever seen one sell for was $500. So $600-700 for a new one is not that bad. I had not seen that GSR one, glad to see someone finally giving BK some competition!

You are welcome !
