So I'm researching this installation. I do not plan to install the seat backs or the seat bottoms. Is there a way to simply bolt two LATCH anchors per side or do the LATCH anchor only bolt into OE seat bottoms?

Unfortunately no, there are no latch points however booster seats work great for my little ones.

Thanks for the confirmation. I just did the front airbag deactivation. I'm debating if I want to do the rear belts at this point. I have 2 kids, so currently only one can ride with me

Sorry to bring an old thread back up.

My friend thought I should post here. Any members looking to sell their GT3 with rear seats installed? Please PM me if anyone is looking to sell their rear seats installed GT3. Or even a 997.1 GT3 with no rear seats installed.

Thank you!

From all the research I've done anything beyond the 7.1 doesn't have the anchor points for rear seat belts and the sheet metal is also thinner so can't handle the load if passengers sit back there. Don't quote me on that, but that's what read somewhere.

I'm sure it can be done, but not as easy and probably more custom work from a fabricator vs. straight bolt in.

If you look at the pictures at the beginning of this thread, you’ll see the mounting holes for the seat belts. I just looked at how and where the belts were positioned/installed. Self explanatory

You mean 997.2 GT3 doesn't have the anchor points. The 997.1 has them.
