Im 6'2" 145lbs yeah im a little guy. i took some measurements the other day i have in a comfortable position able 3 to for 4 inches of clearance above me head with a stock and rails. that is all going to change. im plan on cutting out the seat rails on the floor. and use aftermarket rails mounted to the floor with a reclinable racing seat. i Lena back anyway i my seat no seating straight up. visiblablity should be ok. Everybody needs to go to jhpusa.com and look at the 5 panel rearview mirror. for 24.00. a civic on base has on already and it look great. Two words where this is going Oldsmobile Aerotech
