Default Custom Rear Seat Ideas???

Anyone got any ideas for custom rear seats. I am in the process of updating my Trans Am interior including a carpc, installing g6 front seats and getting some piece carbon fibered.

A while back I thought about having individual buckets with side bolsters and the whole deal, in other words ditching the bench seat. That way in the middle you could fiberglass an enclosure for a n2o bottle or sub box... could be cool

I would just remove them. Thats about the only mod i can think of other then recovering them. I think someone offered a rear seat delete with storage bins in their place.

F the back seats! I've moved both of my front seats down and back and I'm going to pull the back seats. I plan to eventually make a nice little sub box for two JL Audio subs back there.

I want it to look stock-ish. No fiberglass for me, just a nice, clean little setup.

I pulled the lower seat pads out and laid the back down. Because it lays flat and is carpeted, it looks thats how its supposed to be from the factory. Most people don't even notice anything is done, it just looks like there was never a back seat.

In that case, see post #9.

That is what I do as well to keep stuff from flying away in the car with the top down.
