I have searched to try to find pics of a gutted EK hatchback and also a coupe but I couldn't find anything so If anyone has some pics that would be great. THANKS

I don't have any pictures, but it is quite noisy. And cold in the winter. Not worth it to me. Oh yeah, and it's not very pretty either. I kept my carpet from the hatch area and off of the back of the seats to cover up the metal and that made it look a bit better, but the carpet is darker than the rest of my other carpet. I decided after having it stripped for less than 4 months that I wanted it back to having an inside.

Do you have a hatchback or coupe

All I did was take out the back seats and seat belts. It doesn't look bad if you use the carpet to cover it up, but I can really hear my azenis tires now. I just didn't like riding people in the back seat.

wouldn't it just be easier to tell people NO when they ask to ride in the back i'm going to strip off the sound deadening tar then just put everything back together so i get the best of both worlds - a little weight reduction and the luxury of having all my interior pieces

i gutted from the front seats back and its really loud in my car. I can really hear my es100s too. Im going to be getting some new rear seats off of a jdm ctr and putting them in as soon as i get the money for them. I like the look of a gutted interior

plus the seats and rear panels dont even weight than much prolly 10 pounds at most for both the seat and panels.....i dont know if the hatches have them but i took off three big metal peices right under the back seats and those weighed 21.5 pounds.
