Rear Seat Delete
I did a search, and couldn't find anything definitive, but maybe I failed.
Has anyone deleted the rear seat, and then put the GT3/RS rear carpet in? I'm looking for a finished look. Are there other options available? Please educate me on this!

The biggest difference with the NA 997 and GT3 rear seat area is the seat belts. Removing them are easy enough. But the c-pillar trim will still have the seat belt opening. You could source the GT3 c-pillar trim or leave the holes as-is. The rest of the seat hardware removes easily enough.
The rear carpet unfortunately is badged for a GT3 by default. Not sure if you could find it without the badge though.

Thanks!
I definitely don't want it to say GT3 on my rear carpet, but I guess there are worse things.
I'm debating the merits of removing the rear seats. They're basically only good in a pinch, and I have the sport buckets, so I don't really want people back there scuffing them up anyway.

yes I did it on a 996 and 997, you just buy the main carpet piece, it has no holes,
the 1/4 panels have some holes for the seat mechanism, you can find some plugs to fill them or you can recover the whole 1/4 with leather or vinyl.
the C pillar trim for the seat belt can be replaced with the gt3 blank panel.
