Well, the OEM CGT seats are made by Recaro anyways and it's almost identical to the Pole Position, except the fact that CGT is made with CF shell and the belt passages (or whatever those pieces are called) are different.
Don't risk your life for just looks bud, not worth it.

thanks for the advice guys - for the price point its hard to beat them. I did have a set of oem 996 gt3 elephant ear seats, they were extremely light and good quality. issue is that my broad shoulders made them uncomfortable.
that said i am always a fan of oem, unfortunately these cgt seats cost close to 15% of my current car. thats just not logical.

My car hasn't changed in value in almost 3 years.
No track days this year, doing a reno on a house we bought. Sold the trailer, will be looking for an enclosed one in the fall.

We have at least one documented case of the Rottec / Alibaba seats failing in an accident. Forget about the FIA certification and take a look at the designers and manufacturers of these seats and you'll soon realize they are suspect for anything other than office furniture.

The rest of this argument aside....if your shoulders didn't fit in the 996 GT3 seats well they won't fit in the Carrera GT / GT2 seats any different. I have the same problem but being short saves me a little bit...almost quit lifting shoulders and back for awhile to see if I'd fit any better...wasn't worth it 
The shell from the pole position is the same shell used in both of these seats. I believe only from the belt loops up the seats are different. They are still going to pinch / push forward your shoulders in the same spot as the GT3 seats they just don't have big cosmetic ears at the top.

ill stick with FIA or oem. you guys scared the senses back into my head.
honestly when the seats first came out i was angry at my friend for installing them on his car, 5 years on i felt like if the company had been around that long they must be decent.. i.e safe
i will keep on the lookout for some oem 6gt3 buckets!
thanks fellas
