Hello,

Yes Suncoast has the parts - surprisingly $$$ but I guess not really (Porsche tax). I did it several years ago as the folding seats served no purpose for me, just added weight and took-up space. I chose to not fully remove the rear seat belts, which seems like it entails more disassembly/reassembly. Instead, you can just fold/tuck them inside the rear cover panel.

I removed the rear seats and belts myself and it was quite easy. I also bought a rear seat delete carpet that fit in perfectly (it has shaped foam underneath to make the rear look like a GT2 rear) and for my vain side I bought a plaque that said turbo and put it on the back of the carpet. That's the same plaque that you see back there that says GT2 or GT3 in those cars. I believe Rennsport had all the parts. If memory serves right the carpet was like $200 and the plaque was like 30 or so. Have fun!

Which Rennsport / supplier? I would really appreciate a link or part # info for the carpet and plaque pieces if you've got it.

Now that I think, it may have been SunCoast parts. Here is a link for a 991 seat delete carpet.

https://www.suncoastparts.com/product/SKU991GT3RSC.html

Given them a call and see if they still carry those parts.
