I am thinking about taking our the rear seats to lose some weight and was wondering if there was a seat delete for our cars to make it look nice, that weighs virtually nothing? Any help would be great. Also what are other things other than front bar, trunk gutted rear seats that can be taken off to remove weight? All ideas are welcome.
Thanks

Also has anyone removed the seats before and done something to make it look nice once removed? and what was it?

hmm why not just cover the bottom seat portion(where the gas tank is)with carpet and stick a peice of MDF or diamond plate in the hole into the trunk...

really no gain in removing the RA rear seats. Not unless you plan on putting in a roll cage. You'll remove more weight from the front 2 crash bars then the rear seats.

Well I removed the front bar already. Are you talking about the rear one? Have you taken off both? How much do the rear seats weigh do you know?

Rear seats don't weigh much at all not enough to pull em out. As for deleat kit try lookin for one for an evo if they even make em. I wouldn't take out the rear seats though never know when u may have to haul a few people around

I don't know. Thinking about it lol. Depends on how much they actually weigh also any know other stuff to remove for weight?

got all that done already what else you got anything at all? I have gutted trunk, removed front bar and rollers in front. SSP-Ralliart? The other bar you were talking about, were you talking about the rear one just like the front?
