this is my next mod. my back seat is usless. painting xbrace white too.

1 question does the bottom piece that covers the now missing seat hang over at all? my drivers seat is crushing into the rear seat i want to make sure i won't destroy this piece.
 
I installed it myself, i own and operate a sm autobody collision shop. It took me about 2hrs, The next one would probably take about an hour ! you need to be mechanically inclined to do it. Instructions are so so !

Gotcha, I do all my own auto work so that doesn't scare me, it's the knowing how to take out the plastic panels without breaking any clips or plastic screws etc.. I've broken many of those over the years! Do all the panels in the back just pop out, or is there some tricks I need to know?

Also did you need to remove the front Recaro's for the install?
 
No ! but It would be easier if your a big guy like me :) because your stepping in and out of the back area. I would for sure pull the front seats the on the next one or at least the passenger one as thats the side thats makes it easier to get in and out of.
 
Removing the sill panels, you need to pull up on them really hard,hard to even get your fingerd under them to grab them,4 clips and they also have two way tape,That was about the hardest thing i wasn't sure about and had to re search it.then you'll have to remove the spring clips from the rockers and reinstall them in the sills before reinstalling them on the car.
