    The seat belt receptacles can be installed on the race seats. The air bag control module would have to be reprogrammed as to not recognize the sensors mounted in the seats. This can only be done with the Porsche PWIS Systems Tester. Unfortunately I doubt any dealer would be willing to do this on any plated vehicle being driven on public roads.
