DIY Rear Seat Delete Question

[Ewheels]

I'm putting in a roll bar next month and in order to stay in Street Class in my local TT group, I have to have a rear seat delete (can't show bare metal). I'm planning to build the car to Nasa TT3 specs for next year in which case I'll be pulling most of the interior out. So I really only need the rear seat delete through the end of this year.
I'm too cheap to buy a kit that I'll only use for a few months; does anyone have any good ideas how to make one for cheap?

Black frost barrier type roofing paper (Home Depot) as the base footprint layout covered with a roll of black felt from JoAnn Fabrics. You can edge the layout with run channel weatherstrip from Steele Rubber Products. That's light and that's cheap.

That's pretty much what I've thought. Make the structure with corrugated plastic sheet & cover with black felt.

I've bought a plywood sheet, trunk liner material from ebay and headliner adhesive - cut out plywood to fit in the car (replaced seat bottom, I have nothing that separates trunk from the cabin where seatback was), wrapped it into that liner - it looks great. My other idea was to use plastic ABS sheets (however - back then goal was to have enough structural strength to be able to haul wheels inside the car - now I don't since I have a trailer so may come up with something even lighter).

If you want pics, let me know.
