I mounted up the passenger side Pole Position Classic and, as expected... it's AWESOME!

Looks killer, feels GREAT and I gained some headroom, which is a *BIG* plus...





Best of all, you get to drop ~46 lbs for the pair vs. the late sport seats...






I need to source black hardware and I'd like to have the aluminum side brackets black anodized (or perhaps Cerakoted).

I do not like the idea of mounting the 964 Carrera RS inboard seatbelt anchor (964 521 065 00) between the aluminum bracket & slider. I know this is standard operating procedure, but I don't like the idea of raising the seats even 3mm.





So, I'm contemplating drilling a 16mm hole in the side of the aluminum bracket and mounting the anchor from the top / inside (vs. between the bracket and slider on the outside). Something along these lines...







Then drill two new holes on the bottom of the anchor (one for an M8 fastener and one for an M6 fastener) to line up with the existing M8 & M6 holes in both the aluminum bracket and steel sliders.

Finally, I just finished up the rear bumperette delete / Euro crush tube swap, and M&K Active Exhaust pre-muffler & 1 in/out install. All of that, combined with the Pole Positions, will net a 70 pound weight savings.
