Take it out. It's easy. Once you get the seat part out, it's only four bolts holding in the backs.

It's been done and done successfully, all depends on your ability to work with fiberglass... or whatever you choose to make the platform out of

Im sure its going to cost you a grip too. Ive seen that mod done in a lot of eclipses. LoTalon is one of them, i think. Do a search for his name and find pics of his car

hey bro, i took my back seats out about 4 months ago to do the same thing. well, never happend. the only thing that sux is the road noise, and the fuel pump noise when the radio is at low volume.
other than that, i never liked puttin peeps in my backseat, it is way too small to start with, and i think it is just an insurance gimmick.
