Steve has always been the go to guy. Get the seat out of the car and disassemble it and send him the bottom piece for the modification.

Just out of curiosity, how much extra space does this create. I am 6’6” and find the FGT to be impossibly tight. Oddly enough, I fit fine in my Performante and F12. Never thought about hacking the seat for more space. Interesting idea for sure.

Maybe adds 2” headroom. You should fit headroom wise with lowered seat and no helmet

I'm 6'6". I can't wait to be 85 years old and own this car. I should shrink to 6'3" then fit perfectly:lol

Seriously, shaving the seat foam cushion is easy and looks completely stock. You will love it!

Thanks for the information. Crazy story, but 10 years ago I Fed Ex’d a check to a dealer, I think in PA, for payment in full for a leftover 2016 Tungsten 4 option car. It was when availability was winding down and nearly everyone that wanted one had one. I think I got it for $10,000 off. It’s nutty to think about, but tons of Heritage cars were sitting in various lots along with a handful of Tungsten cars. In any case, my wife suggested that I should probably sit in one seeing as how I am a big dude. I found a local one in Phoenix and quickly realized my mistake. I immediately contacted the dealer and they were nice enough to send my check back. I ended up putting that money toward an investment property that I lost $500,000 on lol. So a decade later, I am thinking about taking another run and you guys have inspired me.

You should do it, you won't be disappointed! :thumbsup

Wow Cadster. That is crazy. Time to make it right. Sorry to hear about that investment property.
