I am only 5'7", but I used aluminum spacers on my seats to raise them.

Thanks guys. There is also a possibilty of a new magazine feature...will keep ya'll posted.
I'm having the same shape hood installed, except in carbon fiber (needed a taller hood to fit over my Whipple).
The unpainted color matches my existing paint pretty well, but after all I've done so far, I don't want to look "rice".

Question: Paint it or not?

Here's a picture of the hood from the vendor's website:

The Mrs had that same hood on her black GT. I would leave it unpainted.

Just curious, what makes for a magazine feature car anyway?

I have lots more mods than a lot of cars I see in magazines. More than one friend has suggested that I should get published (if the project is ever finished). As far as I can tell, putting a Cobra motor in a GT is pretty rare (because in most cases it's a pretty stupid waste of $$).... I did it (instead of just buying a Cobra), because I had a toasted motor, and lots of $$ in the suspension already.

Motor (almost finished):
