Darwin, that's interesting, do you know if your car was equipped with that cover as stock? I thought they were 968 only.
968 rear cubbies are a nice way to fill the void of deleted rear seats. But a set can cost over $1500 and you can't get picky with the color - you get whatever you can find!
If/when I delete my rear seats, I would still leave the frame of the top folding part installed, with simple upholstery. My thinking is, sometimes it's beneficial to have a smaller trunk, and a trunk with a wall. I wouldn't want my groceries like fruit or bottles rolling forward into my way.

The way i did mine in the MK1 VW rabbit, i deleted the back seat and fabricated a false floor..... i got storage boxes from a 2gen RX-7 from the JY they were 10$ a piece and they come with locs
once installed they look like they belong there towards the back i installed another compartment for the spare tire and a set of 10" kenwoods and thats it....looks good too .....

Weights from the project, per bathroom scale:
•OEM Rear Seat Bottom---4#
•OEM Rear Seat Back---18#
•OEM Carpet Set w/Rear Seat Belts---30#
(the only sound dampening material I pulled was the hatch mat and a 10"x36" rubber mat that was glued to the rear deck)
•OEM Spare Tire---32#
•Felt Carpet Kit w/press board supports over rear wheel well area and spare tire cubby---14#
(that's a 70# reduction, not bad)
