Ok I have a 99 camry and want to cut wall behind fold down seats to seal off from trunk my question is will this hurt structure of car I only need to cut 3-4 inches on each side and 1-2 inches on topp to get box flush

do you plan to compete or is this just for daily fun

Absolutely ... make a frame.

Unless you just really want to see your car kind of twist up like a pretzel ...

The thicker bracing for seats is up not where I'm cutting

Even still that is ALL structural. They spend a shit ton of money removing as much material as possible without creating a liability. This of course means if you remove some you are creating that liability. This isn't hearsay either I was literally doing some consulting work on 2017 vehicles this morning.

I have been doing car audio as a hobby for 20 years both for myself and my friends.. so though I am no professional I have some experience. In that time I have run into exactly 1 car ('90 something BMW M3) that could benefit in any way from removing material from the trunk area of a car. Bass travels quite nicely through the backs of seats... unless you are competing.. those guys are crazy.
