Rear Seat Delete

[redline5.0]

Who makes the best rear seat delete? By best I mean fit/finish and lightest. So far I have found mmr makes a rear seat delete and american muscle has one as well. Also rearseatdelete.com has a abs plastic one covered in carpet and also still has the bottoms where you can toss small things in. Is anyone running any of these? I would guess the rearseatdelete.com one is the lightest because of the abs plastic but idk.

^^^ $459 is a good price??? Everything Watson racing sells seems twice the price of everyone else... I thought the one from rearseatdelete.com looked pretty good...

 

[Redline8k]

Compared to the ford racing one that's 1200 yes.

Anybody install one? How much weight does it actually save?

I have the MMR version, which, I don't recommend. The fitment and quality could be much better.
Unfortunately, I didn't weigh the parts but, I'd suspect that it saves around 20-30lbs.

Apparently the Watson only works with there roll cage and rear firewall

About what I expected out of mmr.

I think the OEM Laguna Seca part in gray looks the best in our cars. Pricey, but nice.

^^^ I agree, the Laguna seca looks awesome. If I decide to do this I might spend the extra on that one, the rear seat delete.com doesn't look bad either, that's the "cheaper" option I would do

Laguna seca rear seat delete with corbeau or similar seats with harness bar would be the plan for me. Good weight savings and looks good at the same time.

If I don't go with a custom setup in the future, I'll likely purchase the Laguna kit. It definitely looks the best.

Its expensive for sure, but I know it would be OEM quality, I don't want to spend 200 on something that will look cheap and just thrown back there to gut the car

I looked at every delete kit I could find, trying to find something that I thought wouldn't look cheap in the car. I ended up biting the bullet and getting the factory Laguna Seca kit. It was well worth it. The fit and finish are what you'd expect from a factory part and it looks awesome. I trolled around and found one, shipped to my door, for under $1000.

 

[Silver_Coyote]

^^ that's what I would expect being all ford parts, OEM quality being worth the extra cash in my mind... Post some pics of yours if you don't mind

 

[Scott8583]

Id make my own before I spent that kind of money on something that doesn't really do much... Just sayin'

 

[red13]

Easily make one for far less than that.

 

[Silver_Coyote]

^^ of course you can make one for cheaper. Probably less than $75 in materials. But it will not look OEM and will look like exactly what it is, carpet over 2 pieces of ply wood.

I think the Laguna seca is very expensive and definitely not something most people would do for the price with not much performance gain.

But for me, if I do it at all, it would be the Laguna seca because it looks good, all the others just look cheap and the price is too much for how bad it looks in my opinion
