We all know that the back seat of the 2002 SC430 is completely useless (for seating). The trunk is mostly useless for storage when the top is down. I am considering removing the back seat entirely and converting that small space to additional storage. It would fit 2 or 3 small bags when traveling. Has anyone done this? How does it look? How did you finish it off to look decent? Photos? Thanks...and yes, it might be a stupid idea.

 

Many members have done exact what you are talking about. Do a search on the subject.

 

Thanks. I'll give it a shot.

 

Hey SSBeach, this is a good idea but might be hard for you to know what exactly to search.

Do a google search for "SC430 Back Seat Shelf" and you should find some results like this:

As you will see, Lexus had the same idea and even made a kit for it. The kit is long gone though. If you can find one, they are worth thousands.

There are some aftermarket options available.

 

There was a great picture of a backseat removed and it was a luggage area with metal strips on the flooring...I can't find it to save my life.
Anyone help me out here?
Looked like this Jaguar conversion but was a lighter color and strips on the floor as well.
