I'm about 6'1" and I don't have much problems fitting, and I do have a sunroof. You might have to recline the seat in order to have a helmet on, or you could just remove the headliner and have even more clearance.



Or you could get an aftermarket seat that will sit you in a lower position. To my knowledge, the Sparco Evo and the Bride Artis III will fit in a FD and provide you with a good amount of added headroom.



BTW, has anyone tried to remove the complete sunroof and put a piece of fiberglass, or something to place it? Better yet, has anyone tried to replace the sliding sunroof with a flip-up sunroof?

Yup, I'm 6'!" also and I fit fine. I have a touring model (includes moonroof) so i lose a few inches there. It is very difficult for me to wear a helmet and fit.

Yeah, I'm 6' also.



At the AutoX I just open the sunroof, then everything fits fine.



I had a friend who was 6'2" and he had a little routine to get in and out of his, but he loved the car anyway.



Be more worried about fitting under the car, as that's where you'll spend a lot of time also.
