Default rear seats

Does anyone have pictures of their f-body without the rear seats. I was wanting to free up some weight and to see what it would look like. Is it even worth doing, 1/4 mile wise?

Taking out bumper supports sounds dangerous. If you push on your bumper, does it flex a lot?

I removed mine. I went into an upholstery shop and had lightweight carpet installed. He removed the brackets on the floor board that hold the seat bottoms (I am not putting them back in). It is flush with no holes. I don't have the plastics in yet so the final result is hard to really appreciate. Its a clean and professional install. Lost a 100 pounds with the carpet, sound deadener, seat belts, and rear seats. That's "one tenth" closer to my 9 sec ambitions.

It doesn't look too bad, I've had mine out for about 2 years. The only things that stick out are that piece of metal on each side that the seat bottoms bolt to, everything else is carpeted. I used the driver's side one to mount an extinguisher.

Thanks for the input guys, but does anyone have pictures? This is probably a bad section to ask since everyone went all out and took out everything. But does anyone have a picture of just the rear seats delete? Its hard to visualize with a roll cage, no carpet, and no side panels.

DopefedZ do you have anything under that shifter to space it up or is that just the height that it is off the tunnel. I have a quarter stick and was contemplating taking my hacked up console out.
