Re: Rear seat Delete For a 4th gen in a 3rd Gen?
FWIW, most of the time those deletes weigh more than the rear seats and belts do. I would pass on it personally. besides, the ones i bought years ago fit like *** and the carpet didnt match. Looked a bit out of place and i eventually threw them away. they were from a different outfit though, but from the pics, the carpet doesnt match.

Re: Rear seat Delete For a 4th gen in a 3rd Gen?
Ive seen the posts about the crappy ones people who sold those are out of business. These are made of ABS plastic probably about the same weight or less than the seats.
Im going to weld in a 4 point roll bar, am I racing, no, this car is just a toy really I just want to put a 4 point harness in safely, am I a poser? Yeah, just want the look, from what Ive read the bar is a must to put in a harness, so I figured why have the back seats in and the little storage bins look handy. I going off the premise that the bar would give me a little protection if I rolled the car.
Theres is no carpet in my car. I wanted to vinyl mat the floor but none of the replacement carpet places would mold me one so you wont belive this, but I rhino lined the floor after restoring and patching the holes with a KBS floor pan kit not sure if I like it, I may still put carpet in. Just not a fan of any cloth in a T-Top car, S%$# just ends up rotting.
Im putting procar racing recliners in from JEGs. the interior was carmine red (hideous) so im going with black already dyed my plastics.
I digress if this thing will fit I wonder if they'd make me one with no carpet just in black ABS plastic. Just need to know if it would fit, since the 4th gen seats are supposedly narrower Im bettin it will.Wanted to see if anyone had tried them before. I'll shoot the merchant an email and see if they know an post back.

i agree, they are quite simple to make. Besides, like i mentioned earlier, i had to remove all the carpeting from mine and trim the wood, drill the holes in different places and recover them anyway. It would have been cheaper to make my own.

furthermore, you could put the seat down if you want storage
