Family-Friendly GT3: Installing Rear Seats for Practical Adventures

In this exhilarating episode of Seen Through Glass, our host takes us on a journey of practicality and adventure with his beloved GT3. With the British weather freezing his hands, he ponders the idea of making his GT3 more family-friendly. As a family man himself, he yearns to share the joy of his GT3 with his wife, daughter, and even their trusty Jack Russell, Twiggy. But how can he do that when the GT3 is strictly a two-seater?

Enter GT3 Belts, a company based in California that specializes in retrofitting rear seats into GT3s. Our host chose them for their reversible installation process, ensuring that his GT3 can easily be returned to its original state. No structural modifications are needed, just some clever tooling to utilize the existing seat belt hardware. The inner trim is removed, revealing the original connection points for the belts. It's like a game of Jenga, but with Porsches.

But GT3 Belts doesn't stop there. They understand the importance of keeping the GT3 lightweight, so they choose not to install the factory backrest. This not only saves weight but also avoids drilling into the chassis. Safety is a top priority, and GT3 Belts complies with all global safety standards. They even match the interior trim, giving the rear seats a seamless integration into the GT3's cabin.

With the rear seats installed, our host demonstrates their comfort and usability. While the back of a 911 may not be the most spacious place to be, the absence of a factory backrest allows for more room to lean into. It's not quite as luxurious as a Ferrari FF or an Aston Martin Rapide, but it's certainly more comfortable than a standard 911 with rear seats. And with the addition of a Pasha baby car seat, our host's daughter can now join in on the family adventures.

With the GT3 now ready for some big adventures, our host plans trips to America, Europe, and various supercar events. He envisions loading up the GT3 with friends, photographers, and videographers to enhance the content and create unforgettable memories. Some may think he's mad for installing rear seats in a GT3, but for him, it opens up a world of possibilities and allows him to spend more time with his beloved car. So buckle up, subscribe to Seen Through Glass, and get ready for the thrilling trips that lie ahead.
