Default Rear Seat Delete

So tell me, is it really worth it to buy a rear seat delete kit? I heard it's cheap speed, but if it doesn't really make a difference, then I don't know why do it?

I wouldn't only do it for a speed increase. If you like the look of the rear seat delete, then go for it. I took my back seat out and will build a rear seat delete. Do what you think looks best.

I like my rear seats because they hold my two 6x9s and 10 inch sub.

It is NOT going to help your speed in the least. Those back seats are like 10-20 lbs if that. Only do it if you like the way it looks and you NEVER use your back seat. I wouldnt cause my back seat holds 2-3 girls easy. ESPECIALLY with the top down. Plus I dont really like the look of it epecially with my top down cause the back seat is VERY visible at that time.

Back seats in a fox literally weigh next to nothing. If you want to do rear seat delete, make it yourself. I made mine for about $25

Hey guys. I know when I removed the back seat out of my fox hatch, all of the pieces with the metal brackets, sound deadener from over the spare, seat belts weighed just over 50lbs. The site below offers several versions of kits for fox hatches depending on your wants and they look and fit awesome.
