Hello. I'm hoping somebody can put me in the right direction, or has some experience. I have a 2020 Mirage, and I'm 6'5". Anyone know where to get longer seat rails or extenders?

I did it for the gas mileage. I also may have blindly disregarded my legroom during the test drive because of 42mpg rush hour traffic. Lol. Either way, My only main concern at this time is the legroom. And no, I chose the hatch. A lancer seat should fit in and move back more?
Lancer seat will not mount or be direct swap either.
The factory are easy to remove though. Take them to a weld shop, have them cut the four mounts off, weld the rear ones closer to the front on the rail, weld a plate to each rail on the front and weld front mounts to them. It would actually be quite easy.

I would just have a welder make two narrow steel plates. The rear of the steel plates may need some support under it. Drill holes that match the existing rails, but move the holes further back on the steel plates. Mount the longer steel plates to the existing mounting bolts. I would then remount the existing seat/rails on top the added plate, but further back. If you don't care about rear passenger leg room while you are driving, I don't see a problem. Whenever you sell your car, you just removed the steel plates and remount things like they were.
I can't say I have done this, but I would just shift the existing seat rails back some if possible.
I had someone at work ask for more leg room, I didnt even bother trying. I don’t feel like taking any liability or blame for someone being injured in an accident cause I jerry rigged a seat mount. Someone could probably figure something out like mark suggested for you though. The seats do have a seat position sensor too keep in mind.
