Modded Passenger Seat Height
A friend of mine did this to his Mustang and it worked out well. I decided to do it as well.
My wife didn’t like how low she sat in the passenger seat. So I raised it up by 1 ¾”.
After a little modding this is what it looks like.
Pictures 4 and 7 are my friend’s mod. The rest are mine.
This is what you will need to do this mod:
4) Square tubing 1 ¾” X 1 ¾” X 1 ¾” Long.
You can use whatever size of tubing you like for more or less height.
4) 3/8 16 X ½” Bolts or ¾” if you can’t find ½” I used the ¾”
4) 3/8 16 Nuts or locking nuts.
4) 3/8 Flat Washers.
Drill 3/8” hole in center of the top and bottom of the tubing. The base factory bolts may be a bit bigger, so you may have to drill the bottom hole a little bit bigger.
Take the seat out of the car. Remove the base from the seat. Bolt spacers to base. Using the new 3/8 16 bolts, bolt seat back on base. Reinstall seat.

I would have just said sit on a phone book, it's a lot less work. lol Nice job, great pics, love the circles and arrows, shows you exactly what you're looking at and how it's done, very clean and professional looking mod. 
By the look of the floor mats, it's difficult to tell anyones even sat in the passenger seat.

I can respect any woman that likes Busch and Schlitz, but not many go that way. Did you have much trouble explaining to the wife how your neighbours Busch ended up in your pics?
OK, that derailed quickly enough, last bad pun I promise. Maybe.
