No, I don't think they really did. Basically it involves the seat, which they make for you anyway, but for a tall person they just reduce it down and eliminate the seat track. Then they move it back a little bit when they bolt it to the floor, and they tilt it up in the front as well. Then they move the pedals back a couple of inches (towards the front of the car). This requires a different brake master cylinder, which costs about the same as the stock one anyway. And on mine they spread the pedals out a little because I have 12EEE feet, but th3ey still managed to keep a dead pedal, which is nice on longer drives. Then they ease the steering wheel up a bit with shims, and throw in a 15" Moto Lita with a Quick Release hub, if you ask them nicely. That's about it. The car fits me fine. But, you absolutely have to be there for a "butt in seat" test because it matters where your height is (foot to knee, knee to hip, hip to head, and how "padded" your butt is
).
