Why take the seats out?

Fold down the rear seat back to give you an auxiliary trunk that matches your interior.

I have been thinking about this too. Damned uncomfortable for riders in the back anyway. I am getting a light bar soon, and that would leave even less room back there. Seat delete would also free up room in the cabin to do a custom speaker box and get rid of the crappy oem speakers in the side panels. It becomes a big *** roadster imo. Totally do it!

There are panels that cover the rear seat area once removed. I saw them a while ago for a t-top, not sure if available for a vert.

These definitely make it look better imo, although I don't think I would pay somebody for them... kinda looks like something you could do yourself fairly easily
