Are you able to load stuff where the seats used? It seems like it would be pretty flimsy and just collapse in.

Does it lay down flat so you can load larger items into the car?

not trying to be negative, I've thought about doing something similar it just seems like you've made the interior less attractive and less functional (unless adding lightness is your top priority)


Weight reduction is the #1 priority in life so not worried about functionality. I thought that was clear by my obsession with weighing everything.
Actually with the chloroplast is stronger than you think I was accidentally leaning into it when bolting in roof covers the and it would bend but not break. It would bend right back into shape
A simple wood brace underneath and it could hold weight if that's what you want to hold a wheel or something without adding too much more weight. I have an old Cherokee to haul sh*t around.
Its way more attractive than just having the seats removed and bare metal showing and the interior sound levels are back to normal.
