I Finally Did it

I finally Deleted my rear seats last weekend, and this weekend I made my own kit to cover the area. I came up with the idea a few weeks ago, and found that someone else had done the same thing so I went with the idea.

Its pretty simple. I didnt want anythig to complex. It is nice and light weight and only cost me about $30 thats right $30, and about 2 hours of my time.



Carpet doesn't match perfectly but for $9 I wont complain.

Now you need to remove that back seat hinge mount, I think you'll need T-45 or T-50 torx bits to do it. Best to get a whole set; those bits in various sizes appear elsewhere on the car.

do it. It takes no time to take the out, and put them back in, and having the seats folded down is not even comparable to how awesome it is without them.



PS. jtack. I will get the measurement up tomorrow… hopefully
