I'm looking for some write ups/pictures of homemade rear seat deletes...I think $100+ dollars is ridiculous for plywood and carpet. I don't want to put my stock ripped up rear seats back in, they look like ass.lol

I am going to be making one for my car. I am just going to use the hatch carpet to make part of the template, and then make some sort of storage cubby area, where the rear seat bottom would be. I too would still be interested in a write up, or pics
 
I just got a big cardboard box and cut a rough shape out of it for the vertical part, test fit/trim/test fit/ trim/etc. until it was right. Parked the car on a level surface and used a level with one end on the flat area in the back and got a height for the front piece. Traced it on 1/2" plywood and cut it out. Did the same thing for the flat piece and put speaker carpet on the whole thing. I did a piece all the way in the back and it turned out pretty nice. Just takes some time but worth it if you ask me.

I prefer a look that follows the contours of interior panels. It's more measuring, cutting and shaping but I like how mine came out. Too bad I don't have the car anymore.

I also made a vertical cargo area divider panel that sits in the flat notch of the shock tower covers, but never put it in. I thought that would "finish" the overall look better - hiding the fact that there is something missing - namely the rear seat.
