I personally don't think that would look good. I think the rally-style look is better with just two seats in the front and the back seat taken out. But, YMMV.

I think it could work. You'd have to go pretty custom on the mounts though, the bench seat is mounted quite differently than bucket seats.

I think it would look and function quite nice. I've thought about doing it myself...

I don't think the floor is flat back there? Doesn't the frame change shape for the back seats?

I always had the crazy idea of turning the liftback into a three seater and installing a third seat in the center of the rear. How fun would it be to be the guy in the back with the perfect view of the center of the car?
