Default Rear seat delete

This might be posted somewhere here but I couldn't find it. Has anyone done the rear seat delete in the S197? I'm thinking of doing mine and am clueless what it will look like, how difficult it was to remove the seats, if they are removed, etc......HELP!!!

Our rear seats are a breeze to remove. the lower portion has 2 plastic clips that you simply push in and lift the seat out. the whole lower portion might weigh 30 lbs.

I've never actually removed the upper parts but I have been assured that it isnt too difficult.

Have you removed the bottom seats? Are you using a rear seat delete kit thing?

you'll only shed 5-7 pounds, all youre getting rid of is a little bit of foam and fabric. i just put my rear seats back in the other day after getting back from the track, after putting the flowmaster american thunders on it definately keeps things quieter.

ya +1,it won't shed much weight andtaking the back seats out will make the interior ugly and louder. and to top it off. back seat removal is a ricer's favorite mod to do to his civic dx auto.
