Back Seats, where to buy the "kit"?

Hi, i'd like to install the back seats as kind of a storage area as the bins aren't really working to well; i'm not really looking to transport people in it (one of my female friends is 5 foot though ). My question is who would i talk to and how much do you think it would cost for the whole "kit": Seats, rear interior paneling, seatbelts, etc? Thanks- Clayton T.

Those are kind of hard to find here in the states. If you find some, just let me buy them. I am about to have my first kid and have a stepson already LOL

Have you seen the room for those seats 1234Rotor? I hope you were joking lol. They look nice... actually really nice... but they're referred to as watermelon seats for a reason .

Thanks guys . . . Swat81, where did you get the seats and how long was the labor charge? I sent a reply to Jimmy's asking about the back seats but i'm starting to think i can't afford these seats (need money "just in case").

rear seat

I sent an email to Jimmys-rx7.co.uk about the rear seats...Heres what I got back.....

Thanks for the enquiry.

Attached is a picture of an example rear seat set, they come complete with
seat belts, side panels and rear carpet.

A complete set in US Dollars would be 600 plus 280 shipping from the UK

Regards,
Andrew

I was wondering, is it legal to have backseats? Because on that sticker next to the door, doesn't it say the car's a 2 seater?

I'm looking to go to the bins, I already have the actual bins but I need the sides and rear parts.

I have a full rear seat set with belts, maybe we could do a deal?
