Default New Parts are in & more mpg!

Finaly got my parts in today. The alum head light ****, alum lock *****, alum door jamz & pod cover, alum e brake cover and rear seat delete kit. I didn't like the way the delete mounted so I customized it. The back was supposed to be bolted in behind the headrest but that looked dumb, you could see the headrest tabs and bolts[:'(] Now the back slides up under the headrest and I added angle aluminum stips on the bottom so it doesn't move till you want it to. Oh yeah and I added my old grill pony with some Velcro.

Looks great

Im not much for one for the pistol grip shifter or aluminum e-brake but everything else looks great

Do you think that rear seat delete is strong enough to be sat on?

Thanks guys. No it's not stonge enough to sit anything on it really. It's real light weight material (1/8" parical board). I found some that were made of 5/8" partical board but they would weigh more than the seats and I'm trying to cut weight. I guess the pistol grip is a personal choice but I love it plus your hand can't slip off when grabbing gears.

I guess you gotta have lanky arms for that shifter handle, and I'm not so sure I like that rear seat delete, well the color anyways.

Yeah I know what you mean about the color, not quite like I thought it would be but oh well.

I just filled up today and now getting 18.4 MPG city!!!! I was getting 17.5 so by removing the spare tire, jack and rear seat I gained almost 1 MPG. Not to shabby for a free mod. The delete kit was just so it would look better.

I don't see why you guys get rid of your backseats. I just like the idea of being able to fit more than two people in my car when I need too.... Looks good though.
