Finally rear seat delete is done..

So I finally got the time to get my rear seat full deleted. Making the template was a pain. But in the end after about 100 test fits and re-trimming it to make it fit perfectly I'm very happy with the out come. Getting it covered in fabric was the hardest part as I have never done anything like this. Mom was a big help ever the phone

I'm not surre why in the pictures the carpet has those "waves" in it. I just looked at it outside it does not have those. Weird

And yes I know my car is a mess.

Looks pretty good.

It needs some fine tuning. I'm going to use the front clip things that hold the bottom part of the seat in to hold it in better than it is now.

Dont
Let it flex from the iron. You can put all ur stuff under it in what is left of the seating platform.

Well done. Looks exactly like mine.

Nice creation, but why did you leave that ugly seat bracket on? It's only 3 bolts to remove.

I do have to put my rear seat in from time to time and to get that bracket out I have to unbolt the RCB. It just seemed easier.

Will,
Looks good. I toyed with the idea of leaving the center pivot in as well but, in the end, I took it out and I use the rear hole as the anchor for the rear seat delete panel. I also leave the other two bolts in the holes so I don't lose them. It adds a couple of minutes to the seat in/seat out process but it can still be done is 10 minutes or less. It takes longer to get the seats out of the closet and out to the car! Looks good though. I think I mentioned it in another post but I also added some Dynamat under mine and I'm going to add a little more acoustic "decoupling" as the Borla exhaust has a little resonance inside the car that I'd like to get rid of.
