That is fantastic @Tiievommm I'm so jelly where did you find the roll cage? I recommend you get the seats reupholstered what comes on there is a joke. As a matter of fact ask for them bare, with no cushion or covering. Then when you get them upholstered ask for very firm cushion. Good luck take some pics when done.

Plm sent me an extra set of seat cushions so I doubled up and the fit is perfect I tried to get a set of the 996 gt3 replica from them but they stopped producing the seat in carbon fiber so I went the 997 gt3 copy eventually I will have them reupholstered in half black leather and dark gray alcantara center in a small pepita pattern

So the bracket broke on these seats and what I mean about the bracket breaking is the fiberglass rubbed itself against the bolts till it made a big enough whole to where the bolts we no longer holding the chair and the bracket and bolts pooped right out. This was the driver seat and the bracket was the one closest to the knees, it gets a lot of abuse when stepping in and out of the car.
As you can see the fiberglass is quite thin and also the bolts and the bracket were installed with no washer or common sense. With time this will happen to both seats at the brackets around the leg areas. If you decide to go with these seats I recommend removing all hardware and installing better anchors for it before sending them to the upholstery shop. I installed metal spacers thick enough to create a little bit of space as these seats do like to flex but this time the fiberglass can flex on a smooth edge compared to the groves of a bolt and completely grinding the fiberglass dust.
I had to grind the wholes a little bit to fit the metal spacers in it. I also have large washers on the other side on the head of the bolts. Big washers to cover as much area as possible but not to interfere with the other bolts. Then you can tighten the bolts without cracking the fiber glass and still give the fiber glass some space to flex.
