- Wed Nov 04, 2009 11:54 pm #154813 sooooooo a few months ago i decided to try to do some weight reduction just for shits and giggles
i took out the back seats and my ac and all the lines etc.
i atempted to put carpet in the back it came out ok not that great tho
im going to cut out the peice of metal where the rear speakers are
but after that i kinda wanna put truck bed liner down in the rear instaed of carpet
if only seen a few good 4drs gutted but they all had cages wich i dont really want/ need
soo any sugestions would be awesome
thanks guys

Not trying to ruin your "weight reduction" fun, Your not saving much weight. Unless the cars going to be a full track car I would recommend putting your back seats and carpet back in. It will make your drive much quieter if you do so.

i might just try to paint it instead idk i just like the no rear seats look

- Thu Nov 05, 2009 6:28 pm #154955 If you truly want to get some reduction going start deleting item's such as cruise control, AC, Carpet, Seats, Door Panels, Speakers, Radio, Passenger Seat, Driver Side Racing Seat, Seat Belt Brackets, Window motors changed to roll up. Sunroof. Etc....

guess you could get some large plates of i cant think of it maybe tin or something else....and just either rivet it in or sheetmetal screw it in and yea thatd be your best bet cut a hole in it to grab it so you can shut your door....
