Not sure what you are referring to. If you look at some of the other pics in the post maybe it will help you see. From the inside you can see it better.

When the back window is in they follow the shape of the window. It does not look that way in the picture but they do. This improves the cool factor. It looks sweet when you are looking from the rear with the window in. Not sure that one had to be there but we put it anyway just because I like it.

Man that's a lot of welding !!

What model Kirkey's? More specifically what did you pick for the layback angle in the seat? I need to get a pair of seats for my car as well. I'm actually thinking about Safecrafts.
