Nice! How hard are the seats to
Remove? It looks pretty straightforward

Very straight forward! 2 bolts in back, 1 seat belt bolt and 2 nuts up front. All 16mm. I would undo the seat belt bolt first lol learned the hard way... Put the seat at its highest setting to get to it without any issue. Undo the rest of the bolts and then disconnect your battery. Disconnect the clip under the seat and pull 'em out!

Yes ha probably was the first time those seats came out of the car. Found a pile of stuff that looked like sawdust under the passenger seat...

Nice work. It's good to know your car is clean even where the sun don't shine.

Yup, even easier in a coupe: you can skip the seat belt bolt.

When I lived in Philly I moved some cut lumber in my car for a buddy. I kept finding sawdust months afterwards.

I'm assuming you want to disconnect the battery first before disconnecting the seat connector to prevent airbag light issues??

Yup. Center the seat on the rails, raise the seat up, disconnect the battery, then disconnect the seat wiring harness.

Such a good feeling to have a clean interior. Now I just have to try to keep it clean!

I bet, that would frustrate me! I've heard that people find some interesting things under their seats but I wasn't so lucky.

Yep, exactly.
