   Right basically the majority of people are gonna laugh this thread out but i think if it goes right it *may* work/ look okay. Atm im not sure whether i want to try or not. Anyway in the back you have 3 back seats (obv). But the thing i hate about 3 door cars is that the back is small enough as it is so im just wondering does anyone know if this would be possible or if its ever been attempted. The same as a rx8 interior by that i mean the long ass arm rest going through to the front.
   
   
   Hopefully that pic actually worked but im just considering it, its not a 100% its just i like the idea of having something different.
   
   Just wanted opinions tbh

   You would struggle to get an armrest in between the two front seats.

   I've thought of similar. Like have the rear bench in half, missing the middle one and having a subwoofer as an arm rest

   You could but then it would look stupid if there wasn't and armrest in the front. Plus, with the seats being so close, the width of it would have to be tiny to accomodate the front seats moving back.
   If you are going to make on just make on of those ones that fold down out of the seat imo.

    That's because the rx8 is rwd, every rwd car has them..
