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.

my head actually hits the back of the opening. i've been considering getting some "racing" seats, but i don't know how low i can sit and still have good outward visibility.

i think i'm just going to get quotes from a couple of shops on how much a weld & fill job would be.

in the meanwhile, any suggestions for reasonably priced seat that will ride lower?

thanks for all the input, guys!


for the money the best you can get is APC seats, I mean unless you're looking for recaro, momo or something like that, APC at least have DOT approval I think those are the cheapest ones with DOT approval on the market. but the advantage is not too much, I think they are probably 1.0 inch lower than stock at the most.
