Yeah, theres no difference.. the shit doesn't knock off .50 of your time at the track! just makes it to where you can hear more road noise. sucks more when your on the interstate. you need that padding! Theres a web site where these guys took apart, even cut, up this white sentra to see how fast it would really go down the track. They even took out a saw-zaw and went away. I did see the difference between the complete car time and when they cut it to just the engine and the guy sitting in the seat! ..

+1 imo ppl w.o a back seat or a passenger seat n no door panels etc look like bums. if u want a track car then build one. if its a street car keep the interior. ull b glad later on.

Theres no difference, and you'll end up hating yourself for taking it out in a couple months if you decide to take apart your car!
