I believe a seller on ebay does sell a ABS plastic trim panel to help cover that up a bit

Did that move the wheel closer to you?

No but I’m guess the stock wheel was maybe a little larger circumference wise, so it seems like the wheel sits a little lower, and maybe if it had tilt it could move it up but I actually like it driving wise in regards to the position and the feel of the wheel.

See here is my dilemma, at 6'2" and long legged even with the seat all the way back I could use a little more leg room, I put seat extenders in once and gained the leg room but the wheel was to far away for my liking , took them out, I've gotten used to the lack of leg room, I would like to have it comfortable leg room and wheel reach. Can't have everything I guess.

In the same boat here. To me the extenders made me sit too high and my head rubs. I took the tracks off and redrilled the mounting holes for the seats and gained a little room. Not as much as the extenders but also let me sit lower.

Aftermarket wheel in my '88 pushes the wheel about 1" closer.

If I added on a quick release it might be about 1" more

Ha I’ve had it this way for last 15+ years so no issues actually. At first I would fumble clutch and brake sometimes but no problems after I got use to it.

I hear ya I’m 6’1” and when I first did the 2017 seats I was sitting to close. I installed the seat track extenders and I got the extra room I needed. All the way back is to much so I got it set to where I like leg room wise and arm reach. As @RangerJoe said I to sit up a little higher as well and if I’m sitting to straight up my head rubs here and there, but I kinda sit more leaned back slightly and I enjoy the leg room. Now I’m wondering with the slightly smaller wheel if that would make a difference taking the seat tracks back out????? Or would I still feel kinda crunched.

Reddevil91, IMO your instrument panel looks much better than stock. Where did you get the instrument panel? I've already bought a similar Momo wheel. All I need is another Fox, hopefully I'll find the right one this summer.
Thanks.

I bought it from a guy who got it in a package deal car he bought, he didn’t want to install it so he gave it to me for a steal. He had two clusters, I kept the carbon fiber classic dash one and sold the black lmr one. It was deal a couldn’t pass on especially after seeing what they cost from classic dash and Florida 50. Thanks man, I’m really glad I swapped it, I was gonna pull the original and led it, then pulled the trigger on this set up. It just makes the dash pop!
