Default 2000 Civic Rear Seat Delete kit?

The Mustang guys have them. Basically wood with carpet on it. Covers up the hole
left by the removal of the rear seats and includes a bottom piece. If not anyone got
a DIY or How-To?

Looking to remove the rear seats and want a tasteful look.

Anyone?

You've got to be kidding me.

What's the point of removing the rear seat when you're just going to replace the weight with that crap?

If you want a tasteful look, just leave the seat in.

I am talking about maybe 5-6 lbs here versus the 25 plus I would be removing (based on what I have read).

I want to remove weight, and I am not a fan of having a large gaping hole
in the rear.

I have seen it done before, and I like the looks of it.

I may have to go so far as to make my own, but I figured somebody might know.

Thanks

its pointless the rear seats are all foam, then you going to replace the foam with "wood and carpet"

then you'll never be able to have someone sit back there just incase you HAVE to give someone a ride.

Its cool, all I wanted to know is if they have one. Not to argue semantics over
why I want to do it. People go crazy for removing plastic trim bits and
several pounds here and there. I was just asking how and where. Not why.

My solution:









I made a cardboard template to form the back seat piece and used the stock trunk cardboard as a template for the trunk sections. I used mdf hardboard, (you can use plywood or any other kind of wood) and simply covered it with speaker box fabric I got from a local car audio store. It's real easy and all you need is a jig saw, staple gun, scissors and some spray adhesive. Just measure, cut, testfit and repeat until satisfied.

And for those that will moan about weight savings...it can be removed in less than a minute and sits in the garage when I go to the track. Simply Put: It's an interior cosmetic piece that looks 100% better than the bare metal floor IMO.

Heres a way, grab a hacksaw and a file.

Yeah that looks AMAZING and i love the way you just pop that cover up for the spare.

But if I ever sell it...the rear seats have to go back in...that is the part that connects the two sections.

lmao rear seats dont weigh 30 lbs. The seat belts themselves pretty much weigh more than the seats. I had my rear seats removed along with the belts, and ended up putting my seats back in tonight without the seats belts, and all together i would say the rear seat in full weighs 11-12 lbs.
