With this kind of attitude about weight reduction, well you might as well not do any at all. Every pound adds up. I'm now going to go look, seems the rear seat brackets are only spot welded according to this thread, I'm gonna go take them out too.

 

^^Yea, they are spot-welded, all of the Brackets back there. I just grinded down the spot-weld, and with a Hammer and Screw Driver I popped off the piece of steel.

 

I took mine out yrs ago. I put them in if I am WANTING some extra passengers for a trip or something. With em out, it's easier to keep people from constantly wanting to ride with me. People can be such moochers these days.

 

^^Part of the reason I took mine out, just me and my girl.

 

i still have mine in, but i lay the back forward cause my dog sleeps back there when i road trip, gives it a little more room to slide things in from the hatch. plus it looks better, and you can tell people you dont have back seats and they wont be any wiser.

 

the interior looks ugly as hell with them out. if you want a true 2 seater, buy a vette. and all my friends know how uncomftable the back seat is, so they dont ask me to drive anymore.

 

I took mine out when I got my 6 point roll bar.

 

I took my rear seats out and built two secret compartments in.

when the seat folds down there is now two compartments where i usually keep my lunch with icepacks in or...some other goodies

 

^^That's neat.

 

I don't like giving people rides because they always need more room behind me.... I'm 6'4 so there's no room behind my seat... I thought about taking them out but I agree with everyone else that it would look too unfinished... there's really no point as far as weight reduction.... personally I want a nice race/street car that when it's hot... i can turn on the AC.... am I wrong for wanting the best of both worlds??? and not wanting to give anyone but my girlfriend a ride??

 

i had them in both my camaros. swapped carpet in the z28, never put them back in. i love it. moved my cap and amp down there. seems that the u in the body catches crap you chuck back there real good! oh and lowered with no bump stops so i used to bottom out some. no moochers either!

 

Out.....

 

my rear seats are cloth so they dont weigh **** everything weighed around 12 pounds..which is'nt alot but thats is what it took to get my pig to 3298 every little bit helps besides my car is lowered w/ true duals..

 

I took mine out, got some rear seat delete boxes and now there is an amp in one of them. Going to go with some black lightweight carpet too to match the boxes.

 

I removed the rear folding seat and seat belt assemblies, but left in the cushions because they weigh so little and help alot with sound deadening. Works and looks fine for me.

 

Those delete boxes look pretty damn cool. I might have to see about making myself a pair.


I took my back seats out and get disgusted every time I look back there. I've just been too busy or lazy to put them back in. It just looks hacked and incomplete so they'll go back in tomorrow.

 

NEVER. rear seats, rear seatbelts, Jack, spare tire....all still in there

 

Mine are still in.. maybe in like 5 years when my car is actually fully built.. then I'll consider taking out seats, heater core, A/C, etc. to save weight.. for now its going to be a streeter.. not a gutted

 

took mine out, no need for them in a vert with a cage I am keeping the AC with the new motor as well. Its hot in NC in the summer

 

Get rid of the seats if you want to put other stuff there.
Or because people don't fit back there... and continually try.

Why reduce weight when you can increase power instead??
