I'm leaning towards the CMS unit, which doesn't have the X brace. Also, the carpet on the rear firewall panel doesn't have to be cut with that one either.
Was this installed without taking the seats out? I'm thinking of getting the BBi bar and it's good to know that it's possible
a lot simpler with them out thats for sure. Removing them is not a big deal and you will need to attach harness lap and sub belts to the seats also. As long as you disconnect the battery before removal i have never had an issue with airbag lights or warnings.
Monday night I helped out at a Tech inspection for one of our club's upcoming HPDEs. In the shop where the event was held was a GT4 with a rollbar with X brace. I asked one of the shop owners how removin the cover and accessing the top of the engine was with the X brace in there. His anwser - "To be honest, it's a real pain in the @ss!" He also is a dealer for CMS and their rollbar doesn't have the X, it has more bracing on the roll hoop. I think that is what I will end up doing when I get my car.
Something about an incident in the US and (of course) the ensuing law suit, I don't know the details but it's what my SA told me when I was told "No." after asking if I could order the Clubsport pkg and then again when I asked if I could just order the parts from Porsche separately and then have them dealer installed. I'm sure you can Google the case.

Beginning of HPDE season I added a Schroth 4-Point and CMS Harness Bar to use with my also acquired NecksGen Hans. When not in use, the Schroth stores neatly behind the LWBS. I also picked up the pre-cut trim with the Harness Bar. Fit and Finish looks OEM.
I too like the CMS that comes with pre-cut trim, but can you explain where you notch the carpet & how if at all possible? despite not having to cut threw the center carpet area due to its unique design where the horizontal part of the bar curves up and down in the center. I really do not want to cut anything on the car, the pre-cut trim can be removed later and replaced with the original trim, but notching the carpet concerns me a bit depending on the location of the notch. Thank you!
