No back seats?

Does anyone know if there is some type of kit that replaces the two back seats, so there is no back seat? Thanks for any help.

mine looks ok WITHOUT the rear seats. i removed the seatbelts too. The only metal that show is where the bottom cushion ataches to the floor board. I tok my rear floor mats and put them on top. they bent and molded to the small hump.

With the rear seats removed and spare &jack you lose about #50
pounds or so.

The metal he's referring to is this small ridge that sticks out under each seat where the carpet has been sliced to let the mounting bracket show through. If you're feelin' girly you could get some color-matched thread and sew it closed, or just leave it. The back really doesn't look bad at all without seats (although my Mom still hates it )...

On a side note, if your car is going to make a lot of power, ditch the back seats. My friend just broke his aftermarket driveshaft, and even with a DSL the damage done was nuts... someone sitting in the back seat would have been in a LOT of pain

The area is all carpeted,except the front bolt brackets(as others have said).

I did mine in the spring and it looks pretty good empty.

I guess you could buy some speaker boxes or something,but I did mine for weight savings.

It sure beats me going on a diet(250+)

true... my friend just has the back piece off, and it looks pretty good, and u can make someone sit back there if needed... (those 2 back pieces dont weight more than 15lb together) put ur batt to the bcak, if u want some nice weight distrubtion...

Thanks for everyone's input. I'll take out the back part and leve the seats there since they don't weigh that much. And I could always throw someone back there.
