my biggest fear is that I look ridiculous driving with the top down the top of my head sticks a couple inches above the roll hoops

Am 5-10 and great for me.

A friend who is 6-4 and 250 tried a Box and complained.

I told him to pop off the shoes and it made a big difference for him.

6' 4" and have very few problems. My right leg does rub against the center console a bit, but that will be corrected as soon as I do the console delete and move my A/C controls up top. (Goodbye cupholders.)

Also 6'4" and have the same problem. Makes heel and toeing awkward. I'm debating going with a console delete myself but can live with it as is.

I'm 6', but I added the bk roll bar extender to pass the broom stick
Test for tracking with helmet.

God forbid it happens, but if you roll the Boxster and your head is the highest point, it's not going to be pretty.
