Recently acquired my 991.1 GT3 about a month ago and have been wanting to add some upgrades. Lots more parts coming. Extremely happy and thankful even these parts arrived given what’s happening.
I do all my own work at home as it’s the only way I can save money for more parts haha.
Currently done are:
Swift front and rear springs with upgraded links
Cup headers with SP Motorsports Grand Am exhaust
Recaro RMS 2700g Driver Bucket seat
Recaro Sportster GT Passenger seat
Rennline Race mats and floor plate and phone mount with wireless phone charger attached
I utilized the oem occupancy sensor, seat position sensor and a resistor/fuse to keep the airbag light off. I drove the car as much as I could this week and thankfully the light hasn’t come on. Fingers crossed it stays off haha.
Again waiting on more to ship/arrive, will update when possible.
Had paint correction and ceramic coating done.
New plugs since I’ll be doing an oil change.
Stock 4 ways to be removed for new seats.
Seat connectors needed.
Recaro bucket for driver side, Recaro reclinable for the passenger. Rennline race mats and floor plate.
Taking apart the passenger seat to feed in the harness.

Car looks great (black always does when it's clean) and that Drivers seat looks incredible!!!
I've only seen it on line once and didn't know that it was available; is it comfortable?
I also have a black GT3 w/driver/passenger Recaro Profi SPG XL's and I find them quite comfortable.
Some other mods (what I have for the track) I'd recommend:
GMG roll cage, Schroth Harnesses, GMG muffler bypass, Cup toe links & Feredo 2500 pads w/ higher temp brake fluid.
I did the SP Motorsports spring package which consists of Swift Front 10k and rear 14k springs with swift helpers and rear spring adapter. Also did the monoball upper and lower arms as well as the wishbone. I moved the rear sway bar end link to its stiffest position for now until my adjustable end links arrive.
So far, it’s been a night a day difference in handling. All my builds have always been on the stiffer side. I thankfully have the luxury of living up a great mountain road so I do get enjoy the change often, hoping to eventually hit the track when things settle with Covid.
As for the seats, I utilized the factory bladder and same module required off my 4 way seats, used oem seat track position sensors and for the air bag used a 3ohm resistor in-line with a 2amp mini fuse. From installing the seats to now, have added a decent amount of miles. Still no light 🙏 haha
