LOL. Are you serious? I'm 5'6" and have Del Sol seats and never had a problem driving. Anyways, EK seats should sit higher without too much work. Of course EP3 seats will sit even higher but will require some work.

You don't need to see over the hood. You should be looking ahead, not at the pavement 1 foot in front of the car.
