Default Anyone in Richmond VA with Aftermarket Seat?

I'm 6'5" looking to buy an 2003 S2K but felt the car is a bit tight so I was wondering if anyone around Richmond has a S2K with aftermarket bucket seat I can try to see if fit better in the car.

Thanks,
Mike

I drove my friend's 03 yesterday and feel like the seat sits too high up, does anyone know with an aftermarket seat and seat rail it will sit lower? Some aftermarket seat rails actually sits higher than stock. Back one notch and lowered couple inches would be great.

You're screwed. Basically. I'm 6'2" and I barely fit....

They do make racing seats for the NOT-SO skinny. Might want to look into those

One of the major reasons I am looking into after market seat is when I turn the steering wheel my hands brushes against my legs. Also I can't see the dash that well because my line of vision is too high up from the high seating position.

I'm thinking about this seat, looks like it's not too hard to get in and out and it has a decent price and don't look flashy.

I fit pretty well in the stock seat (I'm not that wide) it's just the height and how far it goes back. Like I said I drove my friend
