help me decide on interior


my autopower roll bar will be here mid january (they have to build and ship it) i am definately removing my back seats...

should i

A) carpet where the backseats were and leave the trunk carpet so it has a finished look..

b) pull JUST the carpet..

c) gut the **** out of it front seats back

d) other please explain...

i didn't make a poll because i want to see what you guys have to say... please help me decide... thanks a lot..:thumbup:

 

I think this one depends on the look you're going for...taking the back seats out isn't going to save that much weight, and then neither is removing some extra carpeting. I took the back seats out, but with the trunk carpeting and interior trim, it looked awkward. I vote for gutting it, panels, speakers, everything but the spare. Leave just the carpeting that extends under the front seats to the rear seats so stuff you put there doesn't slide around.

 

i have no dilusions of grand weight savings, no one EVER sits back there so i just don't need them.. they completely lack ANY function at all

 

gut the **** out of it, if you're gonna put in a roll cage just be hardcore

 

Remove EVERYTHING except the dash, roof padding, driver seat and passenger seat..maybe down the road get you are racing seat for the drivers side.

You could do like I use to in old car and use hood pins to hold the passenger seat in so you can pull it in and out really quick.

 

Do you think the hood pin thing is safe? sounds great though:thumbup:

 

it looks awkward to me, are you keeping your side panals in?
carpet the rest of the car.

 

i like C. my boy has his EK hatch this way and it's koo.

 

se i dunno .. i considered carpeting the "ledge" the seats sit on since im DEFINATELY taking them out.. if i carpet that and leave the trunk carpet i would leave all interior panels.. i really kinda agree that MAYBE i shoudl gut it ALL.. from that ledge back.. but im still debating..

thanks for all the input!

 

do the carpet thing but ive seen the panels from hatches, and if you could swap in hatch panels you'd get to keep the speakers and it'd look much cleaner.
