Rear Seat Delete
I removed my rear seat to cut some weight from the car. Installed some "Cool It"" heat/acoustic suppression and had a fellow bend tin for the rear. I had the tin finished with a carbon Fiber wrap and put the two pieces in the car. Needs to be wiped down and cleaned but I was happy with the end result.

How did you get the pattern for the sheet metal cutout? Did you just trace the seat you pulled out?
Ive been thinking I doing this too, and I could make the parts myself too at work. Looks much better than raw |

I have a friend who does a lot of metal work on race cars. I'm not sure what she did for a template. I can ask her and see if she still has it, if so maybe I can get it for you. All bolted in and wiped down. . Bryan

I wanted to go but it was raining here this morning and the forecast wasn't good so I made the game time call not to drive in. Bryan
