Anyone have any experience of this? Have done a search with no success. Considering getting another 996 turbo but the only thing I struggled with was the seats on any trip of an hour or more. Didn't have the same problem with my 997 C2S. Would rather not get non-OEM buckets for ease of everyday use. Wondering about whether 997 seats would bolt straight in and issues with wiring, side airbags etc.

I saw a 996 Turbo with 997 seats in at Portiacraft on the weekend. Not sure what was involved in the doing but it looked very smart and really lifted the interior.
