Just curious - are you sure the lower iso fix points aren't there behind the carpet? They are pretty integral to the chassis, and I would be surprised if they're not there, with the only difference being a small slit in the carpet.
There are no isofix on the LWBS chassis cars. What is there are the seat belt mounting points.
I was hopeful they would be when I peeled the carpet back

Anyone have a car seat installed using seat belt, not isofix? I ordered a Graco Slim fit and while it fits ok, I cannot get it snug with the seat belt…
Are you trying to get a harness restraint setup with a seat belt only install? I don't believe there are many car seats certified for that, the wayb pico might be the only one.

I’m installing it the normal way you install it using the vehicles car seat instead of isofix.
The 991’s receptacle is just in like an awkward spot where it’s hard to get the belt tight with this model car seat
I'm 3 years late, by any chance does this offer still stand?

It's in storage now, but it's pretty mint IIRC. (It was in my 991 for about 10,000 miles—and more often stowed in the front trunk than the back seat.) Will also throw in a seat protector/shoe keeper in black to protect those back seats.
Only caveat: You have to show up in the 911 you'll use it in.
I’ll give my two cents here since I spent hours researching this in preparation for the 991.2 GTS coupe I purchased.
I purchased two Maxi Cosi Rodiflex high back boosters for my kids (8,6). I purchased the Clek seat mat protector.
the Clek seat mat is too wide and deep for the rear seat. So I trimmed it iteratively to make it fit the rear seat perfectly. Took about 3-4 minutes per mat.
the Maxi Coris fits perfectly. Both my kids are comfortable in the rear. My taller 8 year old is totally comfortable and not squeezed with my wife in the passenger seat (5’5”). My 6 year is behind me (5’10”) and fits fine. He’s not squeezed but I’m sure he’d appreciate another inch or two—but I have my seat up a bit more than I would if no one was behind me.
I did not remove the seat bottom or seat backs. I may play with removing the seat back to see if that gives my 6 year old a bit more room.
I did place a piece of the scrap cut out rubber from the Clek mat to protect the middle bolster from the plastic cup holder slat that is digging into the side.

I've the Maxi Cosi Rodifix too - my 6 year old loves being in the "race car" I also have a Cosco Scenera forward facing seat for my 2 year old.
Both seats are on the Ckel thingy and I haven't had the seat bottom removed.
The cup holder slat on the Rodifix comes off with 2 bolts Prevent the problem than try to mitigate it when happens..

oh awesome!! Didn’t realize that. Will fix that tonight! Thanks for the heads up!
I have the same issue/concern with bottom only boosters in general back there. My two kids (almost 6 y/o and 4.5 y/o) heads are above the rear seats if in a bottom booster - unlike other cars the Porsche doesn’t have head supports in the rear. I had the Graco slim fits back there previously. However their heads are at the roof in those now, the roof being the limiting factor in using those car seats fully. What I did, I took off the seatbelt tether strap (the piece with the red clip to snug the seatbelt to the shoulder) from the bottom booster. I looped it around the latch point on the Porsche - same as if it’s looped/connected to the rear of the booster. Both sit in the rear now with heads below the top of the rear seat and fully secured in with the shoulder belt snug across chest. I am going to try using a couple towels under their butts/legs next for a little elevation. This should snug the lap belt a little further. This is no different than an armless booster - yet keeps their heads below the seat top.
Thanks for this, this is really a good idea. I had the same reservations about the lack of headrest when using a backless booster for my 7yo. I have a Maxi Cosi Rodifix for my 5yo, works great but it’s a bitch to install/remove (I have a coupe), and I want to preserve some flexibility for that seat to take other passengers for short trips. The belt tether holds the belt right at his shoulder, and his head is below the seat back. And easy to unhook from the seatbelt when an adult sits there. Will worry about it when he grows taller but that would be some years away.
Some posts talked about the Mesa being a tight fit (no base). The Aria is the new Uppababy car seat and smaller than the Mesa. With a base, it was a no go. Without the base, I (6’0”) was able to fit no problem. Not super comfortable but anyone under that would be fine.
The Cruz (smaller version of the Vista) stroller didn’t fit in the frunk.
Attached: picture of the Aria (no base) with the seat all the way forward, normal back angle. You can imagine how much room there is with the seat moved against the car seat, plenty of room. The handle rotated to the back (as it needs to be) scrubs the interior, so I’d beware of that.
