is the back seat over rated in terms of looks, functionality, and purpose in the 240?

how many of you still have them? and how many of you took them out because they look real crappy? what do you put in its place?

I still have mine in but was contemplating on taking it completely out because nobody could fit back there.

I took them out, seatbelts and all. it's too small for any normal person to ride back there with. there is actually alot more room in the back with the seats gone.

eh, it's not so bad...i personally cut out a little bit of plywood, covered it w/ some fluffy foamish cloth and then vinyl...bolted it in place of the seats and called it a day...it's louder w/o the seats though :(

That looks really good man!

Ya i'm about to spray my (S13) Vinyl blue... everything that is that dash material is going to be a full blue, and the black plastic and air vent plastic is going to be accented in a royal blue color (darker and sorta purply) BUT ANYWAYS the purpose of this is to add that i don't really know what to do with the heinous "tweed" back seats... i don't want to be lame and throw a seat cover on but like... honestly...:(

I have a question, isn't that asking for trouble? people can see that you have an expensive amp. they find the rihgt time, break your rear window and take it if they feel it's worth it and the amp does look expensive...

I think i put like 3 months of wear on my clutch in those 20 minutes:(
