gt3 seats are illegal in the US only if you have back seat. If you remove the backseat then you're fine. You definitely don't want people to sit in the back if you have those seats installed anyways. (in case of accident, there is no way for them to get out.)

i have carbon fiber sport seats, in black leather with black carbonfiber. brand new with brackets and sliders. cobra misano. looks way better than factory sports seats. they are thin like the gt3, but reclineable. $2500.00

"gt3 seats are illegal in the US only if you have back seat. "
don't the GT2 and GT3 both come without a back seat? then why won't porsche ship to the U.S. the GT2 and GT3 with GT3 seats as an option if that's the reason?

I have kids that sometimes ride in the back and I never thought of the GT3's being a problem; I know they don't recline but I never put two and two together...
What does eveyone who has them do with rear passengers? Is it now impossible to get in and out?

is it:
(1) because this way they can get us to spend more money on GT3 seats?
or...
(2) 'cuz us 'mercans have fat asses and want to buy our cars with comfortable seats?
do I win?
