The seats aren't that heavy... then youre gonna put a bunch of wood in? How much weight would that actually save?

eh....add the weight who gives a ****... you're putting the weight where it should be ...in the rear. use cardboard to get the angles right... it took me mad long to get the curves of the top board, but mine fits perfectly. I just need to finish up the rest of it..

Taking out the rear seats means you'll have to drive less, cause people wont be able to ride with you ahah.

Here's what my brother and his friend did a couple years back. Just took some measurements and fabbed this up. Not very hard apparently.

I had a friend who removed the rear seats and front passenger seat from his DA Integra for the sole purpose of not having to give anybody a ride.

The guy is a ***** though. He would always ask everybody for a ride before he got his license, including me. I would hook him up every time we were heading in the same direction. Then he got his license and now he doesn't know anybody that helped him out with a ride. I remember when he first got his car, before he removed all of the seats. I had just got back from L.A. and was tired of driving. He met up with me at my other friend's house and wanted me to go with him to go pre-purchase some movie tickets at the theater. Well, I tell him we should take his new ride and he straight up told me no. Freaking *******.
