Default rear seat delete

im looking for a good looking rear seat delete, all the ones i see just look akward and im sure people asking for a ride would just be like "oh i dont mind sitting on that till we are there" so is there any kit that is a better deterant for people thinking of just sitting on the seat delete?

heres one thats like most of the others i have seen:



then theres this one, the only thing i dont like is the bar in the middle.

I haven't come across a nice one yet. I did see a pic of a show car that had a carbon fiber rear seat delete butI'm sure its expensive.

You could always fiberglass it and paint it. Would be kinda dangerous but if you tapped everything off it could work out.

Do yourself a favor and make one, these are so simple to make its not even funny! Use MDF, and cover it with speaker box carpet (Cheap). OR you could pad it and cover in vinyl or leather to match your interior. I just got done building a similar setup in my brother in laws "Crapmaro" ive been doing it for years for stereo installs. you could even use MDF to make a template and 'glass the whole thing in and paint body color (adds weight, but looks sick). Ill post some early pics of the project so you can get an idea, just lay it out with tape, use cardboard to make templates, and cut out of MDF. Keep in mind these are not fully finished pics, these dont have the front pieces or the carpet and seats, along with some of the detailed stuff. (amp has been painted to match exterior, body colored trim ring around amp etc...) I also included the door panels i made to give you an idea of how easy it is to work with fleece and fiberglass (unfinished mock up in pic 1, fleeced and glassed pic 2)

2 sheets of MDF are going to weigh as much as the stock back seat, so unless it's just for stereo it seem counter productive to me.
