What you think about the stripped S14?

[HunsakerS14]

I recently just stripped my back seats out of my car and instead of having bear metal show I decided to carpet it with subwoofer carpeting and it turned out pretty well. I was just wondering what other people thought of it.

BTW I have this posted over on northwestnissans I just wanted to see what you guys thought of it.

[HunsakerS14]

And this is what it looks like with all the carpet and select plastics back in.

damn at all the myspace angles it not a fat ugly chick just take a picture straight on like so we can see the whole thing

[prang11]

Looks good, did you remove the sound dedoning material?

[TravisSW]

Nice, i'm really diggin that!

haha i lol'd



plastic and carpet is a clean look and i'd leave it that way if your not putting in a cage.

its quieter and cleaner.

but its your call

[ecuastyle84]

personally i would prefer if it was just bare metal...but that looks pretty cool...i think it would look better if the carpet was black instead

Looks nice, but I hate that gaping hole. I noticed this last night looking at xfallen1x's car, hatchbacks looks so much better stripped than coupes.

A block off panel would clean it up really nice and you could cover it in the same material.

I'll be covering my coupe's trunk plastic pieces in black subwoofer carpeting and will probably do a layer over the oem carpet just to give it some thickness and strength.

thats a good idea

[Ian]

I'd rather leave the seats in




Anybody who's removed them before will realize that they weigh a negligable amount, and unless there's some specific reason why you can't have that extra 7 lbs in the rear...I would keep them



Having a stripped S14 was the biggest mistake of m life

[Phlip]

I'm not even gonna lie, I have been inspired, I think I will make use of this speaker carpet in my storage house sometime soon.

[JRas]

you may as well remove the sound deadening while you're at it

I gutted just my trunk and I hear little rocks/pebbles, raindrops, and rattling all the time.

I can imagine a complete gutted car would be much worse, may even need to wear ear plugs on the track so you don't damage your hearing.

I am not sure if the Coupe rear seats are different then the Hatch rear seats, but I have sold, and shipped, 2 sets of rear Hatchback seats, and they are actually 23-25 pounds for both sections; just wanted to point that out. I think it looks good, Black would have looked a little better in my opinion, but you did a real good job, can't deny that.

[ms!3]

would look better if it was darker, pretty cool tho. dont remove your sd if this is your daily. no point.

agree.

if youre going to strip the back seats to save weight, why put carpet in? if youre concerned about how it looks, why take the seats out in the first place?

those things aside, i think it looks good with the carpet, but why bother?

[Yuri]

I think it looks great.
I'm going to do it in my next car.
I hate gutted cars, but this looks really good.

[IIIXziuR]

Yeah that does look neat the way you do it.
Much better than w/o the covering.

[acheron]

sweet, looks good. thats a good way to keep the inside of the car quiet. i might consider doing it to my s14.

[florante rea]

that looks really good. fuck i would luv to get those zenitani or origin lab back seat delete pieces, apparently origin lab don't have one for s14's!

[240sx_LE]

How did you get the carpet to form tight like that? Looks damn great!

I was wondering the same thing. Looks good dude

[Fries]

It does look good! Honestly is there a reason for s14 back seats? Do people actually sit in them?

I know I took mine out during HS just because I was a cheap ass and didn't want to give rides to anyone.

It looks clean and if you have bass, that shit would rock socks all day long.

[P_856]

where'd you get the carpet from

[ayuaddict]

i think it looks pretty good.

you can tell that you took your time and did it right.

[LongGrain]

looks good, i'm about to do the same thing to my fastback

no one can fit in the backseats anyway, might as well make it into a 2 seater.

[jbuckley]

this is a good idea

i was considering doing the same thing to my car but got lazy so i just decided to make a cover for the hole and a flat piece where the speakers are supposed to go instead

your idea is better




my question is how did you get it to lay flat on the floor like that??

[DataXUnknown]

that is definetly a good idea. gives it a pretty clean look while still being gutted. I don't know if I will end up doing that to my s13, but who knows I have brown interior, gunna change all that this gives me a good idea to start.

[T00ch]

looookin ffessh man

[Addicted2Kouki]

IMHO..
It looks awesome. Great alternative to it just being empty, bare metal.

but my question is....

does it stay in place?

i would assume if say you lay something on it with enough weight
the carpet would move across the floor?

any clips?
adhesive?

[blasting_speed]

That looks sick. I don't have the time for that. Even though it looks cool.
