1] It's a restriction on my license to have more than 1 person other than a family member in the car.
2] So I don't have to take more than one of my friends somewhere.
3] Weight reduction. Every little bit counts.

The bottom nut/bolt of the rear seat back will come off with a socket, possibly the same 15mm that's used on the buckets but I might be wrong. If the "star shaped bolt" you're refering to is the one holding the seat belt in, then it is a T-50 Torx bit. (I'm pretty sure on the size). Hope that helps some.
