I'm definitely a "leave it stock" guy, for reasons of resale, collectibility, and tradition. That said, I'm doing this. The baby cushion serves no purpose that I can see and it looks silly.

Just did the mod. So very easy. I wrapped a credit card in a microfiber cloth, slid the edge from the bottom on the clip on the back of the seat and gently applied pulling pressure. Came off quick and easy.
Kudos to those who first did this. That initial crack when the clip breaks loose, is a little scary, just a little.
I put the pieces back together and will store in a safe place if and when I sell.
Looks fantastic. Yellow stickers were gone the day I got the car. View from the back is nice!

Porsche put them there only to meet some weird US DOT requirement. We are lucky just to be able to get fixed back buckets in the US. Serves no safety purpose and they are not on ROW cars.

I know they aren't on the ROW cars. I wonder what the "weird US DOT requirement" is? I don't think the DOT is into cosmetics....

Solved the Sun visors... bought some matte black wrap material. Cut and applied. Problem solved.

Seems pretty obvious that they're there to protect the spin in the event of rear end collision. How effective they are or how much you value that sort of thing is an indvidual call.
