Rear Seat Delete kit...??

[mustangmuscle]

I've been reading the posts on the RSD kits, and been shopping around to find a nice one. And, by "nice", I mean, a kit that fits well, looks nice, is reasonably priced, and oh yeah, actually saves some weight.

Would appreciate any info from those that have done this mod.
Any regrets from having done this?
Any kits that you would recommend?

Thanks!

Chris

ps. been looking at this one...

Exactly what I was thinking, too.
I emailed the place, and they told me they use this plastic because it was
super strong, and doesnt cause the unpleasant "wood" smell that is commonly associated with other RSD kits that use MDF, or other wood....

Thanks for your reply.
Really appreciate it!

I made my own. gotten many compliements. I was thinking about buying one but i had wood laying around so i decided one day to cut it. bought some carpet from my local kragen and it came out great. Only down side is that i run an offroad xpipe and it gets loud inside since there is no cushion to isolate the sound. u can always throw some pillows or some thing. good luck on ur search....

Wish I had the tools, and was good enough to make my own. But, thats not the case. So, I'm definitely gonna have to buy one.

I am concerned about an increase in noise. So, your info is very helpful. I have a catted-x, so maybe it wont be so bad. However, if it is, I will definitely look into some sound deadening material.....

No, not exactly. But, thanks for your reply, anyway.
My car is my DD, so not looking to go quite as extreme as your set-up.

Thanks,

Chris

Actually we pieced back the entire interior over top of it, to give that stock look. Then carpeted over top of it to look like a normal delete kit. Turned out better than expected.

This guy has got the best price for a good looking seat delete ($50 for a regular design). I'm thinking about it in the future, but here is his link:

he doesnt make them anymore. i sent him and email and got a reply about 2 months later telling me. it sucks since they look nice and the plain kit is only 50 bucks

WTH who sells a kit less than $200 bucks? that's kind of steep.

Well that completely sucks. I could justify spending $50 on a delete, but not $200.

I'm thinking of taking out the rear seat as well. Anyone know if there is a kit that turns the space where the seat was into a type of storage bin?

yea thats the reason i`m buying this one :rockon:

The lower panel is a strong 3/16" thick ABS Plastic, and a 1/4" plastic back panel. It provides a deep hidden storage compartment and increases interior cargo space. The plastic will not break or crack under pressure.
