there are 4 seater FC's but most people don't want them b/c they can only seat monkeys

most JDM cars had the rear seats. Only N/A's had them in the US

it's easy to covert 2 seater to 4 if you want. the storage bins come right out and the bolt holes for the seatbelts/seats are right there.

however if you want to do this you should search b/c this comes up more than a little bit.

I swapped my GXL from the bins to seats because we have been trying for children and at the time it was the only car I had.

Now I ahve a nice company car, but left them in because I use them alot more then I did the bins. It's nice being able to put my laptop bag or things I buy from the store and not have them slide all over. They also will help hide my rear strut bar when I get around to putting one in.

well i tore the interior out of my car to find these "lock boxes"... but i thought it was odd because the only way to get to them was to tear up the carpet... and they had wood lids.. so it really seemed akward to me.. are they all like that? or are mine special?

Yours are definatly not the norm. They should be plastic lids with carpet covering on the top that match your interior color.

lol then mine are CRAZY. they had wood as lids, with a cutout for a hand, and they were screwed shut. also, to get to them, i had to pull my carpet out. hahaha. any idea why this is? do i have some model that's trim options didnt include either seats or storage bins? or was this done by the last owner? its the stock carpet and has never been pulled up... so im confused.

Sounds like a ghetto rig to me. I guess the P/O had a base and wanted storage bins or something.
As for the rears, they seat small children (less than 6 or 7) and amputees. They are similar to the ones in my dad's Austin-Healey, and I could barely cram back there when I was 7. You could also sit sideways if you must have someone back there.
Now if you want rare, my cousin used to have a 1st gen with rear seats.

but the housings and whatnot were from the factory, not fabricated.. its really odd. im almost posotive tha carpet wasnt removed to do anythign to them either. and lastly, the carpet is the stock one, not aftermarket or patched or anything to cover these things.. i can take pics of the housings and lids, but theyre not in the car anymore.... is any1 sure that theres not a model without either? id really like to know

Maybe the factory originals got cracked from age or something was set on them. Maybe a theft attempt too? I could certainly see those situations leading up to you having wood bins.

my 87 TII came with the bins, but i swapped them out for the rear seats. Backpacks go into the backseats much more easily than those damn bins. I had to move the amp though, it was in the storage bin. And now I dont know where im gonna put the battery when i relocate it :-\
