hey,
I searched around a bit but didn't find much info on this topic. Here's the problem: I'm about 6'4" and my head just about hits the headliner in my 04, also I just generally feel like i'm sitting up too high in the vehicle compared to the wind shield and visibility and stuff like that. My thought right now is to some how modify the brackets that the seat mounts on to hopefully gain another inch or two of head room, or if that doesn't work possibly search for some aftermarket bucket seats that sit a little lower. For the time being i'd rather modify what i've got than buy something new...has anyone done anything similar with success? Oh also a friend suggested "shaving down the seat foam" but that doesn't seem like a good idea to me, that would mess up the way the fabric that covers the foam is right?
thanks
