That's my car that Super1600 is referring to. Check out the thread titled: "Progress on assembling Sprint GT" here in the GT section for some photos and discussion. I used the "flying butress" style seats in my car as well.

As a point of clarification, the way I did the parcel shelf modification - with the rear seat back in place, and with a flat carpeted shelf substituted for the seat bottom - was not the way the factory would have offerred it.
