   if you cover the area where the rear seats would be with a piece of carpeted mdf then it should look ok imo.

   Matey of mine, took his back seats out & laid some MDF & carpet, looked smart.
   
   Had 2 subs, couple of 6x9 & a amp - was subtle yet effective!
   
   I say go for it!

    make a template of the rear section out of cardboard or similar, then cut the mdf to that template, then glue carpet over the top of the mdf. simple.
