Clean rear seat delete

I like the idea behind it, but in the e30 it's pointless.

Also, the rear seats in e30s are damn near pointless, and I never need to have anyone back there. This allows for more room than the stock rear seat.

BTW, it weighs just as much as a rear seat.

E30s can fit people... I've had six chicks in the backseat (and two in passenger) for a short ride across campus. Having it and not needing it is better than needing it and not having it.


MTriple's and others with track use makes sense, but just doing it for 'looks' or coolness seems like a waste. Most look dumb.

I went to two local car stereo shops and they were "out" of box carpet... so I just picked up this $19.99 rug from wal mart to cut into shape and use as template if you will for now...

Its pretty ugly haha

It's sad, but my Subaru wagon's backseat has the same amount of room.

This thread is interesting, I would like to see more if anyone has pics

Here's my old car, this weighed maybe three pounds at the most. Non backed car audio carpet that is extremely easy to work with and some adhesive. I didnt want any panels that could come loose as my car was built for the track first, street second.

Can you throw this picture back up? and any others you may have of the setup.
thanks

All of those look terrible. Just keep the seat back there.

When I tabbed the captures for my bottom I used 1x2 pine and put two small steel rods running left to right into the 1x2 on each side basically like this

I=I and it pops on just like the factory it took two min to fab and is crazy strong.

^ that can look nice, like the gt3rs or mb clk? black.

there was a build thrwad with a fiberglass delete. i plan on making a mold of my m3 back seat and have a faux seat.

My car does not have the tab things, so I'll need to think of something else. Will do this next weekend :)

the tab-like thingys that hold the stock bottom seat in place. I cut holes in the board that those fit into, that and velcro so it doesnt rattle. Also its a very tight fit so that helps. If you do it, dont half-ass it. Get your measurements right and youll be good to go.

Back piece is 20" high and 52 wide

bottom piece is 20.5 deep and 52 wide.
Then just tset fit and cut for the fender wells, hook/tabs, and the pole on the passenger side.

How did you secure it in place?

[Jean]

I would buy it.... I think it needs an opening for quick fuel pump sexy time.
