Has anyone done a rear seat delete on an SE yet? Would love to save the weight but only if I can find a good kit that mantains the look if the interrior. Any suggestions?
Yeah that's just a GP thing. Rear seat delete will be my first mod if/when I get an SE. I did that on my R53 and it turned out really well. I made my own platform to sit where the seats were. Plywood, a couple pieces of 2x4, wrapped in carpet. It was really easy and increased the usuable space for camping by quite a bit.
I wouldn't personally. I'm a woodworker and like to build things, so making my own is much more satisfying than buying something off the shelf. Here's a pic from my R53.
The batteries partially exist under the rear seats, so you can't lower the profile much. I'm not sure removing the padded seats will save enough weight to make a noticeable difference on range. Plus when the seats are down it creates a flat cargo area, so a good liner or pad would have close the same effect as a seatless GP. But to try as a fun project? Go for it. Just don't be disappointed by the battery location.
