If you remove everything including the seat belt assemblies and all the brackets at least 50lbs.

Do they really weight that much?

Never had mine out, just didn't think they were that heavy.

i removed all the brackets and everything (not seatbelts) and it was just over 50, closer to 60 i believe

I dont rember my seat weighing over 30-40lbs. I weighed everything I took out of my car. In typical fashion, I lost my notes.

There is also the braces that the seatbelt assemblies hold to as well, those have to have a little weight to them as well. I am going to get a spotweld drill and remove them, has to be good for a few more pounds. The seat bottom is almost weightless, but the seat backs have some weight, but a lot of it is in the seatbelt rolls, brackets, and other BS.

And if you want it to look nice when it's done, how much do those rear seat delete kits weigh?

just make one out of lightweight plywood... another thing to drop weight is all the insulation that is glued to the floor in the back, if you don't mind the extra noise
