Custom Rear Seat Delete
**I do NOT have measurements or a template for this. Everything was done on the fly, I took rough measurements, cut out the plywood and test fit cutting where necessary**
Taking out the rear seats is super easy, just five bolts and then lift it out. I've had my rear seats out for about two weeks and saw a rear seat delete kit online for $250 There was no way I was going to pay that much. So I decided to try and make one myself. It was actually pretty easy, despite using unorthodox methods of measuring.. And the rear seat delete installed in the car Due to the battery cable I had to make a U shaped cut here to allow the board to lay flat.

Nice!!! Purpose? Wieght reduction. Every 100# is a tenth in the 1/4 mile and not sure in a road race course, but every pound matters.

Multiple things, weight reduction what I made weights about 4-5lbs. I'm tired of dragging all of my friends around (roommate has a Corvette so he never drives), and I'm a college student with a lot of time on the weekends

Nice work, I planned to do this myself as well. The "kit" for 250 looks great but definately not worth the coin. The back seat in these cars is more for looks anyways lol.
What material did you use? Looks like wood in the 1st photo. Thickness? BTW you can take more weight out by removing the rear seat belts Thanks, Brad |

Yeah that's true, I can't imagine they weight that much though, could they? I haven't looked into how to remove them yet however..

You should produce these. I'll probably end up buying one. My cutting and interior work always looks hack.

Haha, I would if enough people were interested. The way I have to purchase the carpet / board its enough for about 2 or so. I estimated the cost it would take if you were to make it with just enough material. In reality it cost me more like $110-120, which is still far cheaper than buy a "professional" kit..

I'd like to see a delete kit come out that comes straight out to the back of the fronts seats.. like the trunk space extends all the way to the back and the kit don't look like a seat or that one was ever there. Like the Vette,350Z etc... like every car that's a 2 seater.... if this is even possible and will look good.
