Just removed my back seats and made a custom enclosure for my spare tire. My spare is a konig like the rest so I felt the need to show it off. I recarpeted the back of my car and made it look as factory as possible. Future plans call for a single 10" sub, an amp, and a nitrous bottle all flush mounted in a custom enclosure where my back seats used to be. I'm trying to keep it as light and clean as possible. I'll let you know when I get done. I'll post pisc as soon as someone shows me how.

neato! :cool:
Have you measured the weight of the back seat?
Just curious what the weight reduction would be...
(you could take your car to a truck scale, if there's
a close one, and see what the difference is).

Hey, andywrx, I did a real careful measurement of all the back end stuff one rainy day last year.
I weighed 130 on the scale alone, and 134 with certain part held over my head, then the part must weigh roughly 4lbs and so on.
here's the results: http://www.dmcknight.net/ep3hack/weight_reduction/

I'm guessing about 75 pounds, give or take 10 pounds, weight reduction. It looks really nice too.:D
Cool, thanks for the info fellas.
Oh, and BlasTech...sorry, but can't help laughing
at the thought of someone going part by part
on the scale...lol. I really need to get off my arse
now and go weigh some of my own parts (selling
the rims on my car, and need to weigh the suckers
for shipping).
