I'm pretty sure they are a sponsor so I will go ahead and post up the link.

I have never seen them for sale anywhere else, many people make custom rear seat deletes.

If you are going for weight reduction thats not going to help a whole lot.

Yeah if your going for weight reduction but can't stand the look of the bare carpet or the holes left over, your best bet would be to custom fab something. I think i remember seeing someone take insulation boarding (the blue stuff) and cut it to the shape of the seat delete... then cover it with automotive carpet. It only weighed a couple lbs compared to the rear seats weight (45lbs if i remember correctly).

Rear seats don't weigh anything. The back piece is 5-10lbs if that, and the seat buckets are 2lbs each maybe.

I used blue insulation foam, but only as a template. Using it permanently, you would not be able to throw anything on top of the delete kit. Mine was wood and weighed abou ~8lbs. I wasn't trying to save weight though, just get rid of the rear seats as I went from cloth to leather and only bought fronts.

Yeah I was gonna say I know they weigh at least 35lbs. I just bought the seat deletes from that website because I was being lazy, but it looks very clean.

I know I did it for the !passenger mod, didn't care about weight (If I was, I'd loose the weight )
