There are actually several options.
1) taller 5th gear (easy install, just remove side cover)
Bora Parts About $300
2) Taller final drive (requires disassembly of transmission, often done when upgrading differential). About $600
3) Get a 5 speed hacked in to a 6 speed About $2000 for the conversion.
4) Buy a 6 speed swap About $2000 used ($4000 new) and sell 5 speed.
I would have done option #1 if a) I didn't tow regularly and b) I didn't use 5th all the time in town.
