    you could cut some of the metal backing of the seat to fit the pipes through?

    one question why leave the seats in? defeats the object of having a cage.

    and if you are adding bits on and bending it to make it fit, it wont work properly if you ever have to use it

    no it doesn't, the point of a Roll cage is so the car roof doesn't cave in when it rolls, the backseats don't defeat any point, they just make fitting it harder

    only ones that block rear seats are the ones that go to the shocker tops in the rear
