Default what do you think?

I was wondering if I should get this, it's $125. Does a rear seat delete really save a lot of weight? would it look better or just look bad? I need opinions please. Thanks.
p.s. i prolly won't be able to have sex back there if I get this, will that be a problem xponyx? the hood always good, especially after a long drive on a cold night!

don't know about the newer Stangs, but the rear seat on my '88 weighed quite a bit, at least the back part did with all the metal hinges and such so that it would fold down flat. the seat itself don't weigh squat. You could probably save $100 by going to a carpet outlet and buying a remnant and making your own cover for this area after you remove the seat and you could make it in any color you want too!

ok........your seat is weight............so, weight over rear wheel, means traction...unless you dont race, then, by all means, get rid of it. itll give it a cleaner look. and besides, you dont need the backseat anyway. Rock wants a man(me) and not a boy(you). LOL im too funny sometimes. haha

Hmmm, well... saleen we can always have sex on the hood, and my stang will still have a backseat.

Anyways... I say go for it! But, like round said, you could probably get some material cheaper somewhere else... and then you can get a solid color or something. I don't really like how that piece says "saleen" across it... kinda looks cheesy. I'd go with a solid color to match the interior.
