Default Seat Modification For Tall Guys

I've been searching for tips and tricks for tall guys and C7's. I'm ordering a 15 Z51 and I'm curious to hear what you guys think.
-------------------------------------------------------------

New found leg room.

I have had my seat all the way back in travel and tilt. I noticed that there was still some room behind the seatback and the carpet behind the back rest. There is a way to get the seat to travel further back AND recline further as well.
1. Move the seat to its full forward position.
2. Pull the carpet out that sits behind the back of the seat so that the rear bulkhead is exposed.
3. You will find a black plastic wire channel that routes wires to the rear of the car.
4. On top of that channel you will find a clear flexible strip about 1 1/2" wide that runs from the bottom of the bulkhead to near the top. Unplug the small 2 wire connector near the top of the strip and secure it so that it does not rattle.
5. You will now no longer be limited in seat travel or tilt and can squeeze some valuable additional leg room out. This applies for both seats.
