rear seat delete has been made i still have a few finishing touches to do but its installed. i ended up using 1/8" plywood and glued some gray carpet over it. looks pretty good. i bolted it place using the stock hardware from the stock upper seat and the lower portion is hinged. the edges are a little rough so im going to round the edges. saved maybe 25lbs? the stock upper seat with the frame is pretty heavy and the lower seat is light. i can put my stock seat back in, in about 10 mins. like i said i won't do anything that i can't reverse i will not cut this car up. hit 0-60 in 5.22 sec. last night with a 1/4 tank of gas and bald front tires.
