Anyone here remove the rear seats and installed two bucket racing seats yet, like the front seats?

what do you guys think of removing the rear seats, wrap any exposed metal in the OEM carpet, close the trunk hole with some heavy sheet metal (I'm thinking of 1/8" aluminum leaving it polished) build some sort of middle arm rest also wrapped in OEM carpet, and install two rear racing seats fixed mount (probably OEM if i find them).

everything should cost under 1 grand I think?

can you guys picture it?

 

i can see it in my head but where/how will you mount the seats?

wont they sit a bit high on the bump under the stock seat?

i think it may look a little wierd, if it is happening like i see it in my head.

 

I have seen it done but not with stock seats, I think they were brides

 

I know what your saying, almost a theater seat look.
Ill measure today or tomorrow, and see if it works.

Anyone else see this, also a pic.

 

Did it look good?

Also what did they do with the back and eposed areas?

 

I can see it, also you need to recline them back a lot

 

i don't think thats gonna work...the back is raised a bit where the bottom portion of the rear seats are. That hinders you from putting a regular driver/passenger style seat that hits the bottom. That's why they are benches.

 

Just Dont Put A Mounting Spot On The Fuel Pump... You Wouldnt Be Too Happy Abot That

 

i think it will greatly restrict your rear view.

 

this sounds very interesting...i don't think i would ever do it...but i wouldn't mind seeing pics of it done...

 

Unless you get shorter seats....

 

If thats the case just stick with the stock seats.

 

Personally, i think having a 2+2 in an evo would look ridiculous.

But its not my car i guess.

 

What would be the benefits of having two racing seats in the back be? Is this only for looks or are there going to be a team of four in the type of racing being done with the vehicle?

 

The rear seats sits a bit high and with the stock front seats on it, it'll be hella funny but good luck though. Post us some pic if you're doing it.
