Need some help Re Seats

Hello

After drooling for the past 6 months listening to eveyone how they love there new mustang, I have decided to take some steps in getting one.

The problem is I'm 6'7" and although I can fit... It is a tight squeeze.
Why did they have to make the stereo console with square sides, my leg hits right on the corner and after a while it gets quite numb.... I guess I will have to put a black foamy pad there.

The dealer told me he could get the seat moved back around 2" and possibly even lowered a little. He is offering to do this free of charge. He deals with a well known company that does alot of mustang modifications. I don't dispute the companies work as they are well know for there mods. However I'm concerned on what this could do in the long run, safety??, Rusting of the new welds??
Most people I have talked to locally don't even see any problems, but me being the worry wort and the possiblity of shelling out some coin for a car that barely fits is a concern.

The other question... Should I get some form of diamond coat paint protection from the dealership or is the factory finish just as good??

One step closer to ordering... wow what a ride.

I have an 86 cobra now (alot of rust) so I would love to move to this... and almost 40 so the mid life chrisis is begging me to do this.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

The dealer quoted about $400 CDN to change the seat, I guess that is why he is willing to pick up the tab. It is not a big change, according to him.

... Yeah I played B ball in high school but that seems like ages ago, now I just get to pay double for tall shirts from the speciality store's.

I told him that in my game getting another 1/2" head or leg room is a big deal.

I might just have to leap, doesn't seem that it is raising red flags???
