Can it be used in a coupe to give it that 2 seater look?

thats a very good question, I dont know the answer to that question.

But my hypothesis would be that it cannot be used in the coupe.

You know how newer convertibles (usually 2 seaters) have that glass that lifts up behind the front seat? That's what that is. It's used to keep from having the wind blast the back of your head when the top is down. Mainly to keep your wife/girlfriend from whining about their hair getting messed up. If you've ever owned a convertible before, you know what I mean.

In a coupe I don't know what it would do for you other than serve as a barrier between the front and rear seats.

here's a pic:

it can serve as a barrier, it gives it a sports car look (i have amg emblems all over), and help avoid those freeloaders that always expect you to give them a ride cause they wanna "Roll in the Benz!"

Or did I just misunderstand that for a horizontal barrier when it suppose to go vertical, if so that looks gay.

Yeah, vertical. It sits right up against the back side of your front seats.

While I have some of your attention I resently had to lift the rear of my car up put the stock springs back in and install two sets of spring pads in the rear to fit my winter tires (235/50r18) only rubs when tuning hard and accellerating. The front is still dropped and with the rear lifted it has a hotrod look to it, and everybody loves it so far. Also as we speak I'm spray painting my lip spoiler in the garage now. Of course black to match the car.
