Installing rear seats
 
Ok I've purchased a set of rear seats and want to install in my SA. Why because my youngest and last one still lving home woudl fit then the 3 of us can take the SA out.

Ok to my understanding the GS which is what I have, have two supports where the bins would be on a FB. I am seeking feedback can I remove these with causing any damage to the SA?

thank you in advance :nod:

supports added to meet US impact/crash standards. Since JDM cars presumably got away w/o this then structurally your OK to remove. Safety-wise? you're on your own

I installed a set of Fc rear seat on my Fb a few years back:

The only thing I encountered and removed was the sheet metal frame of the rear bins, I don't think that's structural. I kept the bottom part of the sheet metal by the lower leg/floor region intact for a finished look, the Fb rear seats may require removing all of it.

mpk490 if you know of some rear seat belts in black in the UK I have a buddy in Berkeshire (

jim chung the install looked great on your thread I would not have guessed the FC seat would have fit so tidy

Obviosly I removed them as 1) they appeared to be a fancy piece of sheet metal. 2) I pulled the bins from the wifes GSL and it didn't have them.

Ok here is a couple of pictures of the seats, the are from a series 3 and will end up in my GS with matching interior when I find another rear seat and have recovered with the front in the plaid ;)
