Looks great. I just installed mine into a Red 996. The front bolts were such a pain. Had my bar done in red as well. My ONLY complaint is that as a 6'4 guy I did not realize that I would loose 3" of leg room by the seat base not being able to go all the way back. I knew the seat back would not go all the way back but didn't realize the seat base would hit the cage.

Yeah the DAS bar is probably not the best choice for the vertically blessed. There are some better bars from that perspective but they are harder to DIY install.

I hear that Vivid Racing's cage has a curved bend at the base to allow the seat base to sit back further. Oh well it is in. Learn to live with it or take it out.
