Here is the passenger side of mine. They aren't the best pieces in the world, you gotta fight with them a little bit to get them to fit. But they definately clean up the rear.

why take the seats out if your going to put those in there place? not really a weight savings compared to just taking the back part out and leaving the seat?

The hinged hatch ones look kind of cool, but yeah it seems pointless to add 15 lbs. more back into the car unless you have a practical reason to.

A light weight carpet without holes is a better idea.

From my experience, the back seats do not weigh any where close to 30-45 lbs. The bottom is a foam and the top has very little metal. Im thinking 10lbs at most.

I think it looks fine with the humps in the back. I took the back and the cushions out.

im with just leaving the bottom portion of the saets in there. they probably weigh less thean the delete boxes and match the cars interior better.

rear seat delete kits look like crap. The rear seat doesn't weigh much at all...leave 'em in, it looks better than those "kits" anyway.
