I've never felt it was that big of a deal. In all honesty the pinch seam hardly noticeable unless you're standing on top of them looking down. Below is a pic of the LoD sliders I had installed on my JKbeen bouncing back and forth between these and their other set. I like the price of these but man I hate the look of the pinch seam. If I get the signatures I will be lining the seam to help hide it. Any particular reason you choose the signatures over their other option?
