Is it possible to add +2 option in back of a car that was originally only a 2 seater?

It could be done, but there's no way any human being taller than 3' could seat back there. Not worth it, in my opinion.

The one I had in my T2 was blue leather, I'm sure they made it in black leather. In fact, I think I remember a couple floating around on this board for sale.

I did it to mine, mine's blue leather, in my blue cloth interior. =)

Basically, it's not a problem to do, but be warned, the seats are very tiny and useless, but they do work in a pinch. I've had four adults in at one time, it worked all right. It's just nice to have it in a pinch.

Anecdotal story here:
My "family car" was in the shop and I had to pick up my kids in the 7 (hey, it's why I was happy to have the +2 anyway, right?).
My three-year-old,climbing into the left rear seat, says "Help daddy, my feet are stuck!" I flip the driver's seat forward and, with a little twisting and wedging, get her feet under the back of the front seat. Then I put the seat-back uh...back.
She says " I don't like this car anymore daddy. Why are the seats so small?"
"They're not really for people, honey." I said.
"That's why Emmy has to sit in the smallest one then." Says the five-year-old "big" sister...

Just a little slice of the +2 life.

direct drop in. seats fold foward. and lock in place by two levers on each side when up. try to find a rx7 with back seats so u can see first. really no room for adults. good in a pinch. not for carpool. really only good for small children. when my kid sits behind me, it feels like he's alway kicking the back of my seat, i yell at him and he says he's not. seems he's just moving his feet but it feels like kicking. oh and he's kindergarden.

lets see if this works







as you can see i didnt use enough adhesive so its not sticking to well but i will get around to fix it someday, and i put the seat belts on the wrong spot. but other than that it came out pretty good for 50 dollars uncluding the seats
