If you have the money to actually paint the interior after you fully gut it that's what I'd do. Think about, I like knowing people can sit in my back seat but no one ever does...so why not benefit from my lack of friends :o(
Mines a DD so just the rear gut is fine for me :)

I would vote no gut, but that is not an option. I wouldn't do it unless my ep was strictly a race car, and not a daily driver.
i would say go full or nothing at all.
but, if you just wanted to save a little weight without ruining your car (and turning the car into a 2 seater so people cant bum rides off of you), you could take out the spare, and rear seats. :)

GUTTING AN EP IS STUPID! If it is only a track car maybe... but I would have started witha better platform.
I've had 3 fully gutted project cars, some of which I've had to use as a DD from time to time. It's great for some people, and others can't take it. You hear -everything- on the road, and if you're single...most girls aren't to down with a loud usually uncomfortable car.
If you don't care about any of that gut it. Then cage it. You want the ultimate feel...weld in a cage. It will turn any car into something completely different. I just sold my gutted caged Wagovan...miss it, but I didn't have time for two cars with my new job. The experience in a gutted caged car even with only i/h/e (wagon had a built ZC) is visceral. It makes most common cars feel like race cars and can be quite thrilling.
You -will- notice a difference if you do a full gut, but your car is no longer quiet, or accommodating. If you can deal with that...then gut it. I've had enough of the gutting/caging, and I'd rather have something quiet, comfortable, AND fast.
i say no gut but if you do dont half ass it go all the way
I did a half gut. Handling and gas mileage improve a bit.
Plus it confuses my grandma. Which in itself is worth it.
if your gonna gut it then might as well go all out.but whatever you do gut it for function....not for looks!
