Agreed, the cockpit is tiny on the NA and NB.

Most people pull a ton of foam out of the seat to get it down lower so far as I know.

Eh, a full cage complicates matters even worse (and the damn thing gets harder to get into from what I've seen). I have seen some bikini looking tops for caged cars, but I personally wouldn't go full cage. Hell, if that's the case, turn it into an Exocet...
