Default CF panel to replace rear seats?

Guys, I've removed the rear seats from the RA, but it looks a right mess. Does anyone make carbon fibre panels to conceal the floor and gap through to the boot?

A couple of the evo boys have them fitted, but don't know what they're called so am finding it a bit difficult to search for.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I can help you here guys.. its called rear seat delete in US.

The guys at rallytech do it in 3 parts.. parcel shelf, firewall and lower seat bench.

Last time i priced the lot up it was about £600 for a newage.

I decided £600 could be better spent personally

You could always fabricate something similar yourself mate ?

I would certainly do so, if I had removed my seats and had the necessary time!

Try Welcome to Immortal Performance home custom composites
Andy could probably make something up to suit

form something removeable yourself from thin ply & timber, then paint it with gloss to lose the porosity, use a release agent, then fibreglass it ??.

I would use the side of the mould that touches the car

Depending on what you want it to look like exactly- if I wanted a flat carbon fibre panel....

I'd lay down aluminium foil, fibreglass over that (so it will key to the panels), mount bolts to this and drill holes through to the boot (if wanted)
then I'd make up the correct sized flat panels in carbon fibre.
make sure the CF panels fit correctly and then bond in place.
Go to the boot and tighten nuts onto bolts to keep in place.
Hey Presto.

Thats me, not sure if its the quickest way to do it or not... but its the way I'd do it :/
