Idea is to keep your arms in the car in the event of roof detachment so I would think over or under is fine as long as it doesn't interfere with your roof..

Got mine installed, fit great, once I figured out the fasteners. Piece of cake. Hoping some clubs will let me run open top with it.

Hi All,

Just an FYI that fellow SPB racer, Todd at ATLSpeedwerks, is going to be taking over as point of contact on these roof nets. I left full time employment at my family shop to join SSF in wholesale Porsche sales earlier this year and don't have the time to take care of these on the side anymore. Todd has ordered up a few and should be able to help out those looking for nets for the 2017 season.

Thanks to everyone that purchased these, hope they are working out nicely for you!

We just got 7 of them in today. 3 are paid for and will ship this week.

We install under the rollcage to keep all fingers/hands/arms safe from getting squashed. Plenty of adjustment on the straps to pull them tight, and if needed you can ziptie any loose areas to the rollcage to keep them up high.

PM me for pricing if you'd like one.

If you are unfortunate enough to lose the top of the car due to a roll - seems like it would be best to have the net inside the roll cage as that would be gone also?

Don't see how a safety net outside the cage is going to be helpful...

I agree in some respect although I think the stresses that would tear away the top would affect the straps similarly whether the net is on top of or below the cage.

The one other factor is if it's below the cage it increases the difficulty of climbing into and out of the car without the ability to grab onto the cage to assist.
