You can either cut off the bar in the center that they swivel on or just put the solid back over it.You will see some of the bar,but not much.I have a nice set of gray seats over here that were in that GTA twisted has LMK

The only difference between solid-back and split-back is that the split-back seats are two pieces, and they split in the middle so that you can fold one side down without the other. Solid-back seats are one piece and the whole unit has to be folded down. This is referring to rear seats.

there are 2 levers on the side of the seat backing. one on each side. pull them at the same time and the seat folds down. doesnt really server much purpous though since there is a huge hump for the fender walls and the rear end but they do indeed forld down
