Oh and black CCW's do the trick... A lot of local track guys use them. Here's a car with them:

They are much tighter, more precice shifts, less issue getting into gear under load. I have the cup shifter, same throw but makes stock like stirring oatmeal. They are a PITA to install, you need to remove the center console to access them. I didn't do the rest I got stuck.
cable's like 500 and the shifter and hardware is close to that too. Worth it.
You may go the cheap route and install the 997 shifter. but the cables are worth it.

My tech did it... all I do is change wheels 
If you think you can do it, you probably can.
I am smart enough to know that I will eat an entire day trying to get it done, it will not be just right, and I will take it to the tech anyway to finish my hack job, so I just skip the whole "me attempting to do it just to save a couple bucks" as it never works out that way. Also my wife gets fussy if I spend too much time with the car... (not to mention mods she cannot see do not count -- shift cables, ring and pinion, susp, etc
)

Yea i got both, you can get the cable to work with the stock and 997 shifter but i don't know how. I jut know it's been done.
The cable is 500, and it's better, the ends are ball bearing vs plastic it doesn't get slack in it like the stock etc etc. you'll notice a difference and be like wow.

Look at you go eh?! I'd say as far as the roll bar get something like TC Design's stuff if you can. If it has to be bolt-in then maybe one of these:
http://www.sharkwerks.com/products.php?pid=187
That bar allows you to recline all the way back even with stock seats so it's good for tall people. You can see them installed in this 997GT2 which shows you what I mean.

The seat thing... well you really need to try a few first to be honest. There's a good few "tweeners if you know what I mean, from Recaro and Sparco that could work.

Rog, the pole position have the same width as GT3 seats and if I recall, you said you were too much of a big boy to fit in them. Also, I'm 5-8 and find the backrest to be close to being even with top of my head. Ask PJS996GT3 to post pictures of his seats. He's got awesome Recaro profi wrapped in leather.
Datax was selling his RS wing 2 weeks ago. You might be lucky if you PM him.
