[QUOTE="03 DSG Snake, post: 15519801, member: 6485"] As Tob knows, I love to procrastinate on many projects. I took the difficult route in getting ahold of the Recaros, and almost missed out on getting myself a FRPP Rear Seat Delete. Luckily I had a contact who sold me one out of his personal Boss 302. Lightly used but in great shape. I ordered up some fresh hardware and upper plastic trim, and had the brace painted to match the Tungsten Grey: [ATTACH=full]703971[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]703972[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]703973[/ATTACH] My only gripes are with my own interior panels. The lower quarter trim is missing a plastic retainer clip on each side, I vaguely remember losing those when I tore the rear apart for the Shelby Kicker audio upgrade. I might look into replacing the panels, but the car is typically pretty rattle free. I need to put some miles on it to see how it sounds now that I moved everything around again. [ATTACH=full]703974[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]703975[/ATTACH] My only real concern is that the piece of those clips is floating around inside the body somewhere, and I can likely never get it out. Oh well. The other gripe was my upper trim piece, the passenger side didn't want to sit as flush against the quarter window as the driver side. All clips are intact there, if it continues to bother me I might redo it later. My GPS and SiriusXM satellite antennas are in that back corner, if I decide to remove them that might be my chance. There isn't much point having that gear in the car with smart phone audio streaming and navigation these days. Passenger: [ATTACH=full]703976[/ATTACH] Driver: [ATTACH=full]703977[/ATTACH] One other item of concern is the holes left behind by the lower seatbelts and what I believe was the seat back bracket. I did see daylight in a few holes that were later filled with the rear seat delete hardware. I might go back and add some silicone or maybe even duct tape just to keep the weather out: [ATTACH=full]703978[/ATTACH] Project complete: [ATTACH=full]703979[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]703980[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]703981[/ATTACH] The carpet is a bit lighter than the rest of the interior, but with the seats pushed back in place it is very hard to notice. Overall I love the look, as the OEM rear seats no longer matched the custom Recaro skins I had installed. With the new seats everything looks much more aggressive. Only items left inside is a steering wheel upgrade and shifter boot to match. [/QUOTE]
