Default "Tall" IS300 owners?

I've had my IS300 for about a week now, and I just can not get enough of it. I love it!
But I am wondering if any other tall people out there have a way to deal with the "issue" of no head room?

I am 6' on a good day, and have sit slightly leaning towards the middle of the car. I can rest my head on the side area between the doorjamb and side of the sun roof.
I have the seat all the way down, but still can hit the side of my head on that part of the ceiling.

I'm about 6'2" and I fit fine in mine. I do have the seat leaned back a bit though and I usually drive with the sunroof cover opened.

6'1" and only have this problem when I'm wearing my helmet. When I get new seats I'm going to mount them as low as I can and it should solve it.

I'm 6' tall too, and I haven't found headroom to be a problem. I've had the car since March 2006.

I'm 6'4 and I have the seat all the way back and the back-rest tilted so that when I look left I can't see out of the window. There is about 3 inches from the headliner and my head.

I messed with the seat adjustment the other day and I have seemed to found a good position.
