Have any of you actaully removed your back seats to give it more or a 2seater effect? Im questioning building a custom sub box to put in the back in place of the seats... I really hate my excessive trunk rattle and would like the extra vibrations and impact to the passengers if they were in he back seats? Besides theft, are there any drawbacks? Will it look ugly with the top up/down? I am buying a tonneau cover for it. Have any of you actually done this, or know anyone that has?

THanks guys,
Matt

Thanks for the recommendation, Bill! You can bump all the way to the golf course w/ a buddy, one bag in the trunk and the other in the back seat. C5s and Vipers don't have anything on us ragtop f-bod guys.

Matt, you have mail.....

Still have mine in place, still use them occationally as well.

I don't know how big your golf bags are, but I can fit 2 in the trunk and one in the back with a passenger .

Three-some anyone? I'll drive.
