Default Poll: What do you do with your back seats?

I'm picking up my new interior this weekend. I'm torn on installing the signature rear sears to match the fronts or wrapping them in plastic and putting them on a shelf in the garage. My back seats in this car are always folded down and I see lots of 944s in the same position.

I'm just wondering what position people have them on a day to day basis.

took the seatback out, put a speaker panel thing in the bucket area. put a bar across the c-pillars to stop stuff from sliding forward.

I had it up all the time. They are usable for chick transport, and there is the priceless look factor when I say put your legs apart in deadly serious voice.

With them up I seem to hear less rattling from the hatch

They are also useful for storing my kids on long drives

i have the D-9 seat delete kit installed. it's addition by subtraction.... whether cruising around town, on a short or long trip, the seat delete makes the interior of my car feel extremely spacious. tons of room for stacking multiple bags of various shape, groceries, surfing equipment, etc... we once jammed 3 guys, wetsuits, camping equipment and 4 boards in my 944S for a run down to Hatteras Island during the epic Hurricane Andrew swell back in 1992. we got unforgettable surf and like 20+ mpg (4th gear) even with all that cargo.

removing the rear seat allows you to haul a 60cm road bike handlebars flat:


no one can get back there anyway: (passenger seat on the way)

Up, I love hauling people around (for short journeys) in comical seating positions.
