In the picture below you will see a front bulkhead/cockpit that is almost compliant with the new template that they will be instating in 2009. I just wanted to show everyone how much leg room this will actually give you. As everyone has predicted, it will make the front end a little bigger, but it is definately worth it when you get in and can move your legs without wacking it on your steering rack or rocker arm bolts. Everything is under the floor.
The only thing that needs to change for compliance is the the front roll hoop. It needs to be about an inch higher and rounded on the sides instead of a straight shot to the top.
