Get the entire center console if you want to do the conversion like a 9c3? theres a lot to that though, ebrake etc... if you are doing just the seats get the rear seat fold down center part latch its no longer sold.

Otherwise the mechanical stuff is all pretty much the same.. is it a v8 car? If yes motor trans rear are all pretty much exactly what you have now...

If it's a V6 car, I would love to have the rear brake caliper brackets. I will pay you whatever you want to remove the parts and ship them to me. If anyone else has a pair of V6 G8 rear caliper brackets, please let me know!

Definitely get what's left of the console. You'll also need the emergency brake cable section that goes through the body, and the bracket and bolts that secure it to the underside of the car. Even if you don't want to install it, all, you will be able to sell it. ;)

Does the G8 carpet fit 2011-2017? I had found a G8 with black carpet. I wasn't sure it would fit.

It does fit sort of. It comes up a bit short near the rear seat and a corner of the carpet is visible but it stretches to meet the seat. THere is some pics somewhere on here of some installs. Does not look all that bad.
