Yeah, it looks like you're right, thanks for the info. Like I said, I could be wrong.

Ironically, the raised 'hip' that I keep mentioning is the rear part of the 'Coke bottle shape' as it is commonly referred to. I dislike that reference, but it is what it is.
I think the car needs more "Coke bottle" in the rear quarter.
