Are you just asking how to remove the back seats or a method for making it not look bad? There is a kit that goes where the back seats did to make it look better, but I don't remember who sells it.

I just took mine out, and called it a day.. I think it looks fine without the seats, and its more comfortable to sit back there without them anyway..

Just take em out and leave it alone. Theres already carpet in the wells, and it looks clean when theyre gone.

My reason to remove the seats was for the little bit of weight savings, so why put anything in their place?

i just had my seats out w/o anything in there for a while... i thought it just looked unfinished.

and with me bein 6'4, my seat is always all the way back and leaned back a little bit... so there is very little gap between my seat and the back ones anyhow. its hardly that bad once in the car with the seats back. the pic is with the seats all the way forward
