Has anyone ever retro-fitted rear seats to a 991 GT3?
it was an oft' asked question on the 996/997 GT3s, and I believe several were. Granted it may be frowned upon by Porsche themselves.

The 991 generation GT3 has the hardpoints removed for weight savings. If you wanted to add seats back, it would involve welding new hardpoints to the frame. Even if that was done right, it would not be DOT approved, and if anyone in the backseat was ever injured your insurance would decline coverage. I don't know if there is legal exposure beyond that.

Although I hear good things about duct tape. . .

As mentioned by the cleaning lady, the Touring package has "Wheels Painted in Aluminum Satin Gloss?"
It's either Satin or Gloss.
As an option for the GT3, it is "Wheels Painted in Satin Aluminum," which I think was the description intended?

Interesting. That comment was from the guy who drove past the car and took those two photos (ie he saw the seats in the back of the car when he drove past it).
Tomx3 - can you recheck your cleaning lady source? Is it possible things have changed?
