normally it gives strength to the seat.. but it may be a back support for the seat... do you have a picture 1 and 2 do you plan to compete ?

I'm sorry no pic I'm on mobile I really don't know how to post pics and no its for daily

[jonbearsmt 919]

well i need a pic, and also  try to guess the gauge of steel  if you can. ...  even its structural  if you remove it the car is not going to cave in on its self.  but it will reduce the safety of the car in the event of a wreck

It's steel not aluminum.  DO NOT CUT THAT OUT.  As Jon has stated, that is structural.  I don't care what you read on the internet or what "expert" you talk to, do not cut that out.

[jonbearsmt 919]

 there you have it.. leave it.. and just get close and seal the top bottom and sides using trim panels it can be done .
