i have already taken out my rear seats and was wondering if there would be any real weight difference if I lost the pass. seat as well. Rear seats dont weigh ****, and prolly doesn't make any difference besides the look! Anyone know about this?

To lose any weight by taking out the rear seats, take out the back seatbelt assemblies. They probably weigh more than the rear seats!

Agreed. The rear cushions and back section are pretty light. Seat belts weigh a decent amount.
