Has anyone here done it, as per the 968 CS? It would remove 10+kg. Which is about the same as a carbon roof panel saves on some modern cars. I know the weight saving is higher up with the carbon roof, but it all helps.
 
I havent done it but seen plenty of threads on rennlist of people who have. Guess it comes down to how you want it to look. Removing the rear seat top half is easy but leaves the bottom half of the seats 'open'. Seen quite a few people get the jigsaw out and create a board to go over the top to level the boot off then carpet it and tidy up other bits to finish. Seems attaching it to the rear seat belt buckles works well.

Good luck
 
Was only thinking about removing the top half of the seat, as that's where most of the weight is. The bottom half is glued in, so don't really want to rip that out. So really just the minimum board and carpet to cover up the gap that's left.

When I got my 924 it had a spare top part of the rear seat which I took apart and amazed to find it was made of wood!! Imagine someone in the Porsche factory in 1982 cutting wood and glueing it together to make the rear seats!! Sounds like some time making a cardboard template, cutting it out of board and glueing carpet on & you'll be in business. Be great to see how it works out
 
I did it years ago - just got an interior trimmer to glue some black poly carpet in the back and tuck it under the adjacent panels, etc.
