My 3 year old puked in the back of our GS F. The seats are pretty easy to remove, and clean up nicely with basic cleaning agents and water.

I'm not looking to gut the car, just remove some weight. Interior is simple to remove and re install. Also, this is not a daily driver. The track is a blast if you have not tried it? Nothing like
beating cars your suppose to lose against on paper

@biggame I just watched your YouTube against the G8; is your S/C whine that loud at the start of the race? sounds great, lil scary too 😂😳😂 I like it.

You won't be disappointed with the QRT-C seats. Well made and really comfortable. Sparco said they don't offer the aluminum side mounts for the carbon seats.
Removing the seats is a preference even for a daily. You will hear more road noise with the rear removed though. Nothing crazy! Removal is super easy

Actually, you couldn't hear my car over that G8. That whine must of been from his car. My S/C whine is very faint. Couldn't believe I forgot to open my exhaust valve on that race.
Not scary, just an adrenaline rush.

Hey @biggame ... Are you still active on the forum or on IG? I'd like to talk when you've got some time if you wouldn't mind. I've got your car!!!
