Bringing this back from the dead, does anyone have the part numbers for the seat delete hardware?
Edit: Found the part numbers on 6SpeedOnline, if anyone cares
Seems like Suncoast parts is a bit less expensive than if you were to piece it together
Silver Caps (996-522-982-00)
Black plastic caps (996-522-981-00)
The center black piece (996-522-980-01)

So, did some more asking about the kit. Sunset Porsche in OR, sent me this info:
"I noticed that if you by the parts individually, your price is $218.04, plus shipping. The two black caps are $31.27 each, and would have to come from Germany, which is 2-3 week away, or you can expedite the order for an additional $10, and it would cut the time down to 3-7 business days. The two silver caps are $73.90 each, and are 3-4 days away. The back bearing shaft is $7.70, and is a week away."
Of course, I ordered individually!

When I put my half cage in I did a simple DIY rear seat delete at $0 based on this Youtube video:
In my opinion it is a great way to go without being extreme and ordering all new GT3 various interior pieces....
I dont have great photos of the results but it does look good and I have even had RS owning friends say how clean it looks... If I get the time I will take pics this weekend and update...

I’m not concerned about weight savings but I feel like there are creaks that come from the rear seats. Anyone notice a difference?
