heres some pics. i like it. it gives it more of the gutted, lightweight interior tuner car look. and the seats do weight about 20 pounds.

the foam seats back there weight close to nothing.

if you're serious about weight, it's the front seats you need to axe.

im not serious about weight. i know there isnt much weight that you can take off of the 8 without serious modifications.

im also sick of hauling around more than one person in my car.

the front seats will be replaced with recaro, momo, bride or seibon CF seats.

it really makes you wonder, how a company called momo can stay in business, or even brand their products with their name and people willingly display it.

Good idea to cover up with carpet.

But get real.. unless you make it only into a track car I think it is stupid.

Its your car go ahead and do it. Don't forget that MOMO sticker on the front windshield.

With all due respect

I think "Cool Guy RX-8" Would be a better Decal on his windshield.

it would probably be safer with the passenger seat in.
