Scroll down, you'll see the kit near the bottom...

You know, I keep seeing folks like you telling others to use the search function. You must not use it often because it flat doesn't work. YOU put in
"rear seat delete" and tell me what you get...because I got 330 hits, the vast majority of which appeared (by title) to have nothing to do with "rear seat delete" kits. Why? Becasue the search engine cannot search for phrases but instead returns posts with ANY OF THOSE THREE WORDS versus that specific phrase.

Unless somebody knows the trick...

Here is the thread https://www.northamericanmotoring.co....php?p=2027374

I found it using Google and searching northamericanmotoring GP Rear Panel. It was the very first listing.

It's a really expensive mod, I think just one GP side panel goes for around $500. I had the same idea, but once I started looking at prices decided to go a different route.

Thanks for all the help

Thanks for all the help and information I ordered the Factory panels today and will be 10 day out for most of the parts. I will set me back around $1300 but i think it will be the best looking and factory. I will post pictures of the parts in my gallery when i get them. I also have a CNC mill and will be designing a speaker panel that i will post when finished.
