looks like i saved about 25+ lbs according to my Bathroom scale. The backs were about 10 each and I guesstimate the bottom at about 5... Pics coming soon. Very easy to do... Although it scared me to know that the bottom is held on my 1 bolt and a couple of hooks... YIKES....

 

Pics...

 

is it a lot louder on the road?

 

hahah i dont know i havent gone out yet!!!!

ill let you know though... The only thing im worried about is now my 280 dollar mugen bar is viewable... Oh well, thats why I have full coverage...

That doesn't look so bad!!

 

Not at all. I saw Dave(R59) and he had his out with the carpet covering the metal so i decided to go for. It. Just pop the little plugs off the back and fold back tha carpet. When the seat is out, just fold it back down

 

i'll prolly do this, i thought about having an upholstery shop make me a custom carpet to cover the metal, but the seatback stuff looks just fine.

 

Yeah I did it once since I never really use the seats, but theres something about having them there that I enjoy

25 lb weight savings for daily driving wasn't worth it for me

 

looks good ! you guys are lucky that you have the floor carpet to cover everything ,mine doesnt the reason i just mainly have the rear bottom just on there.

 

just got bored and pulled out the seats. 1/2 a beer job, no sweat at all. doesnt look have bad with the carpet laid down either.

 

Dood@!!!@ you even have those super sweet harness pads for your passengers!!

NICE!

 

I know how to get the bottom off but how do you get the seat backs off?

 

I took my seats out the other day and i like it much better. I dont have a rear bad and i really need now. but seats out ......

i have since put the rear carpet back in the hatch similar to b-diddy. the carpet has a bit more traction on the spare tire cover than the blanket i was using.

b-diddy, now it's time to go after the rear seatbelts and those seat belt pads!

 

I wasn't going to say anything, but ... where'd you get them?

 

Just use the hatch/trunk cover... then Mugen bar won't be easily spotted, unless you're looking at it from the front of the car.

 

I see you have the JDM center console - how do you like that?

 

Does taking 25lbs out of the rear have an adverse affect on handling? I mean, the car is already seriously front heavy .. was wondering if the weight would help with anything except straight line accel

 

Nice....same here, just carpet in the back. Now I have to go after the seatbelts too! I hate taking the plastic lining in and out...hmmm...who says they have to go back in?

 

haha you guys saw my shoulder harness... Those are left over from my rice days... Along with a set of Altezza lights...

FLux- center counsol is nice especially with the Mugen **** I have. Since its a pistol grip style and Im a big guy, my elbow kept hitting the USDM one... SO i got the JDM installed

Johnybravo. The seat backs are easy. I didnt read the How to, but Ill tell you how I did it. You need just a pair of pliers.

Fold down the seats and look the outsides of them. There should be a little C shaped clip with a tab. You guessed it... Use those pliers to grab and pull right off. Now the seats should come right off.

I think Im leaving the belts because im not up for tearing up the liner and such.

The car was louder. I heard alot more tire noise...

It wa wierd backing up becasue Im used to seeign the seats when I turn around!!!!

 

Bet that now you could take 2 full sets of wheels or tires to the shop!

 

i cna fit whole bodies back there now!!!! mafia style!!!

 

hahaha!

Pulp Fiction ...
Mmmm NSX

 

Yeah, taking those seatbelts out will save you probably just as much as the seats, if not more - they were a good 7-10lbs ea.
