Default Quest for flat seats... part 2

Alright, im 6ft 3, some of you know im quite a big guy driving this tiny car... and im looking for FLAT seats, i dont like the raised sides, and frankly, i wouldnt fit in them. I see a few like the following (forgive me for using pwdjdm, my friends are all jdm nuts, so its where they got their seats):

i was wondering if anyone has seen seats that are like that, or similar, i just wanna find something a little flatter, i dont want the "jdm racer" look, or any of that crap, i would just like for my butt to be sitting a little better....

Another option may be to have a good upholstery shop make a custom seat bottom. They can save the OEM cover and foam if you sell the car and fabricate something around the metal seat pan.

I bought an F1Spec seat off the forum with the lowest rails and I don't think you can sit lower in the car with this setup. I am also 6'3"-6'4" about 230lbs. The seat is basically almost touching the bottom of the floor and the buckets are deep. The sliders kind of suck and are cheap, but once you figure out how to put it all together and get the seat furthest back the car is super comfortable to drive.

C5/c6 corvette seats are flat as they used to think the world was..

Corbeau LG1 seats are fairly flat, but the bottom does appear to be thick. And I don't recall seeing them installed in an s2k before. They also have a Moab model for Jeeps that are very flat.
