The glass skin has been trouble-free.
I'm in discussion with a fabricator friend about building a custom 4pt to ensure some additional rollover protection...and chassis rigidity. So unless I/we deign it necessary to pull the skin to install/build a cage, I'm going to stick with what I've got.
But I'm 100% confident you'll come up with some other goodies for me to add to my jalopy.

It's getting tantalizingly close to being a production item. Currently trying to confirm it's going to fit 964 and 993's without a new inner mold. I'll probably have to buy a scrap 964 panel to be sure.

Sales/reservations of skid (sorry, Protection) plates have been really great. I can never get over how supportive the members of this forum are! Thanks to every single one of you.
It's such a frustration when parts like this leak. I never doubted you for a moment, but I'm excited to see results from such scientific testing.
