Yup just bring out the blow torch, crowbar and Carrara white rattle can paint to rip out your Panamera like interior, add some after market seats and bolt it in factory-like.
I did this 4x. You better get an experienced shop with super detailed pictures of how it is supposed to come from the factory, but doesn't.
Back than, in the old days there was less interior to deal with, but you may want to think about this process before your order full leather.
The good thing is that you're throwing the rear seats out anyway, so that's not extra work.

Please keep in mind that welding the plates into the car will be much more complicated then it was in the 997 because of the aluminum bodyshell...
I think an aftermarket bar that bolts into the car without the need to weld somewhere will be the best way to go.

Bump.
I just wanted to follow up on this for you, Joe and others. My "informed source" has confirmed that if you don't order the CS package or can't get it, as is the case here in the US, the 991 GT3 does not come with the welded in mounting points for the roll cage or 6 point belts. On cars with the CS package the rear carpet and side panels are different with holes and gaps for the roll bar integrated into them.

Mike. I can confirm on my ClupSport Spec option 003 991 GT3 I have the cut outs throughout my carpet to accommodate the role bar, extinguisher and front roll bar hardware (should I choose to order it).
I have been asked before to post pictures of these but unfortunately I never took any when I had the car in Europe and its now on a boat between Africa and NZ. Ive enlarged these so you can see what they look like at the front. The cut outs are large and go under the front mat. For the first few minutes I thought they had made a defect in the car then I realised they were for fitting the front cage. Unfortunately I never pocked about much but I can confirm they felt like they had a raised metal plate underneath...

Fire! That's an awesome suggestion. What's the time frame on availability typically with Tequipment and new models? -Tim

I received a few emails for the new clubsport cage part # (not on PET yet) and finally today I had the opportunity to examine one up close.
It appears to be very well made. On par with the latest 997 version made by Semcon (x IVM).
Porsche commissioned the new 991 cages to Eisenmann. (Yes, the same company that makes the exhausts)
Here's the manufacturer's part number [38-5/67-8].
(For the time being they can't be ordered through Porsche.)
