Just finished buttoning up the BBI cage install.
Had to wait weeeeeeeks for stuff to arrive here in AU - we are about to hit the 15th week locked down, shortly - so everything (esp Parcel freight from O/S) is taking forever...
I was waiting for the small trim pieces that cover the rear belts on the c-pillar.
Now waiting for a set of houndstooth inserts to arrive (hopefully before Christmas - yes - its that bad)
Looks like a lot of us with white cars have the white center console. I love the look. Here’s my interior. Swapped the leather steering wheel for an alcantara one, installed Sparco QRT-C carbon fiber backs seats, RSS roll bar, Numeric shifter, Numeric pedals, and Rennline mats.
I thought i was done - but did the Houndstooth to my buckets..... Love it!
My wife didn't like it at first - but (a) not her car and (b) she's warmed to it....
The Pole Position looks very period correct, is extremely comfortable, and the value prop over the GT2 buckets is great.
I find them much more comfortable than the GT2 seats as well as not sweating wear and tear.
After about 10 months with these seats I have 0 complaints.
They are a staple for a reason.
That being said, I purchased a set of ROW GT2 buckets. Excited by the prospect of having heated seats again!
I stand by the value proposition here, but getting the ROW buckets for the same price as what I sold my 997 buckets for a year later sounds good to me.

Get the ROW buckets from Carnewal?
Also, do you have any plans to get the lowering brackets that are offered from Cantrell, or are you going to keep them at stock height?

Yes I did.
I dont have plans to to get the brackets yet. I had the buckets in my car initially and dont remember ever thinking they needed to sit lower.
Its possible I may feel that way this time around but when I put them in this week I'll make the call.
From payment til delivery it took 4 days for the seats to arrive.
Could not have been a more solid experience buying from outside the US.
Seats are beautiful.
Installed them yesterday but have yet to take some decent photos in the car.
No airbag light. Granted I did have it coded out with the Pole Positions.
Seat heating is sooo nice.
The seating position is definitely higher, but its very comfortable and I certainly wouldnt say its too high by any means.
I still have about 6 or more inches of head room. (5'11, 170lbs)
Damn those seats are so nice. I couldn’t pull the trigger a few months ago. May have to. But the airbag light thing scared me away, wasn’t sure where to get it coded out…

They have gone up in price 3x in the last few months and a few more times over the last few years so I dont see them getting any cheaper.
There is a lot of conflicting information out there on what you need to do to have the seats not fault the airbag etc.
I luckily have a friend who is well versed in this exact thing whom has 30+ years MT experience with PCNA and PCE.
I am brining the car to him in a few days. I'll post data so this can be a closed case of what works, what doesn't, and why with the RoW GT2 seats in a 997.
Here's some quick pics of the seats installed (as if we havent seen it a million times already)
-Replaced my Rennline pedal set with SRP pedals.
-Replaced the stock steering wheel with a Sport Design wheel.
-Update on the ROW GT2 buckets: so damn good. I can say without question they are slightly more reclined and sit just a tad lower than when I had the 997 variant.
The added heat is very nice as well.
