there is a crap load of sound deadening material under that carpet. a heat gun and a pry-stick would work. the adhesive is relatively new so use some goof off or if you want to go hard core xylene and a rag and a respirator.
also remove all the seat belt points as well.

Pretty cool! How much weight did you save on removing the rear seats? Did you get any CEL lights or anything after the removal?

Thinking of doing this except using a board of MDF or particle board and wrapping it with CF fabric.

I'm not trying to be a douche, sorry. Just that I couldn't imagine removing the rear seats could trigger any sort of error light.

as long as you does not mess with the electronic harnesses under the seats. you are not moving anything that suppose to trigger an error. .. really nice DIY, I will probably do this when I am ready to put a cage in my car.

LOL sorry for jumping on you there, but simply over the internet, I couldn't see your satire whatsoever and it did sound harsh. And I respect your opinion about what mods are foolish and what are not, but to each their own. If I had listened to what mods people think are foolish, my car would have looked way different than the way it sits now. As for the reasoning about deleting the rear seats, I was planning to remove my rear seats, which weigh ~47lbs (including the headrests), simply because I never drive people in the back of my car and to offset the weight of the subs I was going to put in my trunk. This car also has an amazing amount of sound deadening from OEM unlike most cars that i've done an audio install done, so removing the rear seats would also increase the SPL from the subs and cut down on some of the rattling in the trunk which often leads to a broken gas cap latch. As for the carbon fabric wrap, it just simply looks better than regular vinyl or fabric. It is not poser, but a matter of my taste. The fact that I also have a 5'x5' sheet of it sitting in my room for the past 6 month from numerous installs also made me want to just get rid of it in a useful way. And no, no rollbar or harnesses. I'd just get a CG lock, call it a day, and save the cash.

I have seen that car in person numerous times and the owner was actually a friend of my friends. That's too permemnent of a setup for me. What I was proposing to the rest of the board was something easily removable. A half in thick or quarter inch thick of mdf or particle board doesn't weigh much and can be attached with velcros or magnets to make them easily removable. Just like any system I've installed, everything is easily. Removable so the whole entire system can be out in 10 minutes. Wiring and all.
Just like most other m3posters, the chief goal of this os to remove weight. The rear seats are free to remove and remove the most weight for free other than emptying out the windshield washer resevoir, removing carpets, etc
