    I like the split seat... But both look in great shape!

      I guess it might be good to know I'd like to get a set of front seats from an Aspire too...so I'm not sure what colors or patterns they come in, but one of these rears may match better than the other.

        If you want everything to match, do that... if you want more utility, use the split rear. Especially if you ever have anyone in the back seat.

        Nice thing about a split rear is that it's easy to pull the front seat, put a single passenger on the driver's side in the back, and load boards or whatever on the split section folded down all the way into the foot well of the passenger side.

          Buy some hog rings and a set of hog ring pliers. Cut the old hog rings off with a pair of snips. Carefully peel off the covers. Wash them in the washing machine. Hog ring them back on when they have finished drying.

              The split seat definitely has more utility.

                You need to have a matching interior, go with the blue strip.!
                Then give me the split seat to get it out of your way!

                  Not as much as no back seat! First thing to go on mine.

                    I kept mine out for years, but I occasionally need to carry passengers. See NeanderPaul for some cool tricks you can do with one!

                      Mine's out right now, and my rear section is loaded with parts for the various projects I need to use from time to time, including a nearly complete Hayabusa front end for my Katana.

                      I just put the car seat in the front passenger side.

                        LOL! I got a hitch, and hook up my trailer, doesn't seem to affect my gas mileage much, and keeps my interior from becoming even MORE abused! The hatch area on my car is damaged pretty bad from about 20 years of stuffing everything I can in there!

                            You should use the split bench as a front seat, and the solid for the rear. Get creative

                              ^This. I love front bench seats, but would it be possible? I suppose the e-brake would need to be moved, or destroy the seat.. hmm..
