LMR S550 Rear Seat Delete Kit

[bpracer]

Had not seen this before. Quite a bit cheaper than the Ford "R" kit:

That looks nice and the price is tight.

Has anyone installed this and can comment on fit and quality?

 

[Competition Orange]

Interested as well.

I wonder how "floppy" it is compared to the Ford OE one.

Got mine installed today. Very happy with the overall fit and finish. Yes it is "floppy" but its well contoured to the area and once the velcro and fasteners are in place it does its job. Can't beat the price either.

looks good. Better than the WR rear seat delete kit I got!

Strange question...but do you think that putting 3 wheels/tires on that would deform/warp it?

Oh yes...... I have the R rear seat delete and I would not put one wheel and tire on it.

I tried one from South East Carbon works which fit nicely and looked good with a small logo on it which looked like the one above. It fit well, but velcro is never confidence inspiring.

The Ford 'R' kit is more expensive, but it has a molded fiberglass base and feels like you expect a "rear seat delete" to be - but it is 3 lbs heavier, and the comment about "don't put any weight on it" is 100% accurate. You could probably put your gear bag or a grocery bag on it, but a 50 lb wheel & tire, no way. That's for a $750 fiberglass backed seat delete while the carpet-only ones for $250 are a different beast. You have to decide what you're willing to pay, and if it matters when you have the rollbar installed.

My opinion was the the carpet-only ones aren't a solution for me, even if they look good.

I went with the LMR carpet because I was looking for maximum weight loss, not real concerned about aesthetics, but to each his own. Minor side benefit is since it conforms to the shape of the chassis I could put heavy stuff in there if I need to.

The thing feels like air it is so light and it's really cheap and easy weight loss.

The fiberglass reinforced seat delete would definitely look better and I probably would have gone that route if LMR offered it when I first purchased. The carpet is so light and easy to install that if I wanted to place a few tires in the back seat I could simply remove and roll up the seat delete cover with a few bolts/pushpins/velcro. This won't work with a 4pt installed, but for the time being i'm using the Schroth Quick-Fit Pro and will be my plan to transport my track wheels/tires to events.

Thanks for all the info. I just bought the Ford delete setup.

Good buy Jeff! Look forward to meeting you Wednesday.

I still have all the interior for my car for sale including the R seats.

 

[JeffV8]

It was a good deal for it. Thanks Fred

Something looks a little funny about those... but they are cheap price wise when compared to factory gt350r deletes...

I like that style because you can put junk in the back seat without it sliding and rolling around and ending up on the floor. Like when you make a quick run to the grocery store for the bride to pick up "a few things" and you end up with four bagfuls. It's real hassle trying to dig cans of soup out from under Recaros.
