I prefer using it for groceries, it is much easier to lay everything across a nice flat space and not having to worry about the dips and humps.

I took them out, but then from people complaining their asses were getting burnt, I put the bottom parts back in and everyone says there is a lot more room in there and more comfortable. And w/ at least the bottom part in, it still looks pretty decent.

i didn't feel like reading 3 pages of this. I am still in college and my main reason to do it was to get rid of those ******* moochers that are always asking for a ride. This way I can only give a max of 1 other person a ride and since I usually have a girl in that seat it eliminates all possibilities of some douchebag moocher ruining my chances of getting *** because of certain remarks he might make about my past hookups or just being a dipshit in general. Also it looks better in my opinion and with my smoothed interior panels in I don't want people scratching that **** up. And yes I'm working on saving up to buy a DD, I just sold my V6 firebird, got $2500 from that, gonna save up some more so I can get a decent DD.
!MOOCHER=best mod ever

Well, maybe you should have been more of a gentleman.. HA, that's the best part of being a friend is to try to screw it up for them. Come on. Who hasn't done that before? Unless you really care about the girl does it matter? If she gets pissed and leaves its still funny. I mean my friends still make fun of me about this one girl I told them a story about, and it was 10 years ago. Every time the girl is around, still a mutual friend of others, they say all kinds of stuff.

I also plan on doing some very clean stock looking customizing when i redo my box. Nothing to add any weight or any stereo stuff. But I will make sure I show you guys when I get it done.

3.Nice place to store tools, air compressor, helmet, etc. when you go to the track, and easy to unload when you get there.

People presume that if there are seats, they can be sat in.........and if you car is lowered at all or has custom exhaust (mine had true duals for years and could barely take one passenger let alone 3) it would be perfect, then there is no arguing about whether or not the car can hold them.

I haven't done it but would like to as a place to hide my amps on one side and random junk on the other. That back bench weighs almost 50lbs right? A few pieces of wood slapped together isn't going to be more then 10-15 lbs so that's a good loss right there.

I prefer to leave the seats in. But, there was a time I had to remove the rear seats in my blue Formula.
1. It had a 6-pt rollbar in it, and the rear seat would no longer fold forward since it would hit the rollbar.
2. I had to carry two drag slicks and two runners, a floor jack, tools etc... in the hatch with me to the track. That stuff wouldn't fit in the car without the rear seats removed, since it couldn't fold down anymore.
Other than that, the seats stayed in.
On the silver Formula drag car, I cut off the two metal lower seat brackets under the carpet and put down aftermarket carpet without any holes. It looked smooth and clean back there with no seats. You can also cut those off and sew up the holes in the factory carpet and it would also look nice.
