i have an issue with the sunroof. apparently i'm taller than the designers expected, and my head hits the roof with the seat up where i like it and wearing my autocross helmet is downright ugly in there.
as far as i could tell, gt's are really hard to find without sunroofs. has anyone ever had a bodyshop weld a panel in it's place? i don't even care if it looks that great, but i could really use that extra inch of headroom. --------------------  do you know who i am, mr. worley? |

surgically shorten your torso...lol
well i think it seems like if you found the right shop, they could remove the sun roof and just weld in a piece of SS sheetmetal and then find someone to smooth it out and blend the whole thing in, no one would ever know. Excet for that, i am the same way, without my auto-x helmet on its just barely, and with it i have to tilt my head slightly. Maybe you just have to live with driving with the seat back further than you like it to be. good luck finding the solution. --------------------  1994 GT Hatchback 1994 ST Coupe 1988 Corolla Wagon All-Trac 1999 Corvette 2008 Cobalt SS Turbo |
