Yeah, I had never heard of it either until I ran across it searching for headroom specs a while back.

I'll check for you tommorow whether our seats have the same type of bolts as the G35. I would think it should be pretty similar.

I believe someone did do a full DIY on it with pictures too

If someone does find it, post up the linky and I'll drag it on over to here.

you're assuming the 03-07 mod would work on the new 08. i'm assuming it's different, but hope not.

I'm 6'3'' and I test drove a G last night with a sunroof. I had the seat all the way down and my hair was barely touching the roof... I reclined the seat a bit more and moved the seat forward to nice comfortable position and it never bothered me again.

What I'm saying is that I would not do the seat lowering mod. It wouldn't be necessary for me.

That is awesome that we have quite a few 6 footers that fit fine with the sport seat and sunroof. I am 6'2 so I was wondering if I would have any problems, thanks for the info guys!

I'm a shade over 6'1" and have plenty of headroom. Now I like to lean my seat back a good bit, but not overly so. In fact, I commented on the amount of headroom to the salesman at delivery.
