Rear Seat Delete Options
So I'm on my quest to save 100lbs from my car to see how it feels, all mostly reversible. I was looking at a previous post which showed removal of the rear seats saves approximately 18-20 lbs depending on whether or not you also remove the seat belts (which I wouldn't do). Cosmetically it's not great but totally fine (just my dd for now).
Curious if anyone has tried installing the GT3 carpeting or rear center unit? Seems like the carpet might/should fit, not sure about the rear console part. Any thoughts?

I just think it's a safety hazard to remove the belts. Will probably need them back at some point and don't like tampering with safety devices like belts, airbags, etc.

When I purchased my GTS I tried to order one through a US dealer. They claimed that the rear seat delete kit for the GTS never existed. I sent them numerous pictures from the cars tested by European reviewers that had the GTS branded rear seat delete. No one could help. I suspect that if you know someone in Europe who can speak to a parts department there they could help you source it. There were lots of things on the GTS there that we couldn't get here (Lightweight Buckets for example). Let me know if you make any progress as I'd like one as well and maybe we can save on shipping.

Sorry, it is actually a plastic piece that sits under the carpet on a seat delete GTS or a GT3. I am waiting on clarification from Suncoast on the carpet cost. Not sure if that piece is even necessary.

That looks neat.
Can't wait to see what you guys come up with.
