That's the one I have. No not really.. although on mine I have a camera mount so it does a little bit with the camera. Otherwise it's fine

If you are six foot then you'll need to buy GT3 seats to use the roll bar. Otherwise you'll run outta room.

When you say run out of room, does it prevent the power seats from going all the way back? I'd like to do GT3 seats, but I still like to throw my briefcase in the back. Can do?

Well.. the back of your seat will be flush with the bar.. You can't recline too much. I'd say the best thing is to try and find someone with the bar and do some measuring. Sit in the car etc.. That's what I did and it worked out ok. If you're up here ever.. I can show ya

chris w/ gt3 seats and bar, if you are a close sitter around 6 feet, you might slide a thin case behind the drivers seat. you will not be able to put a case in over the seat top or between the seats, unless you pull one seat all the way forward

Sorry about the lighting on the pictures. If you need more, let me know. I'm almost 6'3" and drive with the seat all the way back and there is no interference from the bar. I have small children that ride in the back (9-11yr old) and they have no problem getting in, out, or strapping in.







They have the bars without the stitching or with black stitching. I went with the white thread. Pictures don't show how great they look.

These are pictures of Ken's leather bar without the cross brace and standard seats.

I personally had the Porsche Tequipment stainless steel bar with the cross brace and GT3 Seats, and I could just barely fit a small travel bag in the rear (rear seats removed). No way in hell a human being would've been able to sit back there.

I believe it's a techbar just covered in leather. I bought it when I did the DVs, exhaust, ECU, paint, etc. so it was buried in there. Probably $800+ installed

Kids can ride in the back with the bar with no problems.
