I bought a full cage the other day and I will be getting rid of my rear seats and fitting harnesses but I am not sure what to do with the rear seats? I have seen some that have been covered and was wondering if anyone has any pics? I dont want to do a massive install in mine because ive got 2 6x9s under the rear seat already aswell as 2 in the parcel shelf and a sub in the boot which is plenty for me! So if anyone has any pictures then that would be great! :thumbsup:

Some people just clean up the area and paint it. Other people cover it with thin carpet (which i think looks best and most professional) I've also seen people board up the area with carpeted MDF.

I think the best way is with thin carpet glued down into the contours of the seat - looks great.

It entirely depends on the look you are going for, ive decided to get a matching rear seat cover to put in too kepp the back seat tidy but when im going on track days or what have you i will take it off and fit a thin sheet of ally to make a kind of firewall.

You cant cut out the rear seats its what gives the rear of the shell and rear subframe mounts all its strength.
