I think a rear seat delete at any point is a good idea

Why not go with fiberglass core and a layer of CF on top like a hood? would save weight regardless, money, and would allow it to be thicker and more durable. or are people really that **** about it being 100% cf even though they would literally not know the difference once installed?

I personally want something that is pure carbon. fiberglass can be done, but that's actually more work for me.

I see.

Ill be honest I won't go anywhere near 1k for the carbon rear seat delete even tho I feel like it's worth a grand. If we were back in 2008 I would but we're in 2016 and these cars are getting old (11-12 years) I think it you can shell these out for under $700 it would be a success.

My goal is exactly 750 shipped. anymore than that it's not worth it.
