Once you've got the seat as far back as it'll go, are there any genius suggestions to give yourself a little more wiggle room in there? Thinner profile aftermarket seat? Heck, aftermarket door panels and center console, maybe?

It's not a real problem, but I'd be tickled to find this out. Especially since unless these sorts of things can give me more room, I'd probably save my money and keep the interior stock for all time.

Well on some other cars, for example the 94-98 mustangs, there is an extra set of holes where the seat brackets bolt to the seat that you can use to get a little extra leg room on the rear seats. You could always check into drilling new holes in the seats a little further back and remount the brakets there. Other than something like that or new seats you're pretty much stuck. Actually the chrysler seabrings have a compatible interior so you might be able to use certain things from those. That's only what I've heard, no first hand experience with swapping any of that sutff.

you mentioned thinner aftermarket door pannels, where do you get those?? im thinking about custom making some to fit more than just 1 speaker per door and a thinner panel would help that out a lot!
