Default No more pull-ups?!

People who ride in my car comment on how they enjoy the contoured nature of the S2000 seats. I'm glad they enjoy that "hugged" feeling.
Me on the other hand...well, I push/pull serious weights, and friends have been telling me that I'm now flirting with the threshold of ELS--Expanded Lats Syndrome (you know, the thing the guys at the gym have who walk around with their arms flared out because they think they are too big [will in some cases, they may be too big--that's called gorilla status])! Hopefully anybody reading this is getting a good kick out of it, but it is actually becoming a concern for me (whereas at first I liked it)!
Any recommendations on some seats that are comfortable (for the lower back) yet somewhat more permissive? Would help, of course, if they looked nice, didn't weigh a ton, and didn't cost a fortune, but i realize that it's tough to have everything in one.

p.s. please don't tell me i have to buy a 350Z or a mustang or something (bc I like my S, and i don't like large cars). I guess i could just stop working out, but that would be in vain.

thanks
jt

I know what you are referring to.. My up back is not supported by the seats. I stopped driving it as a daily because it wasn't comfy. Sorry I can't help with a recommendation for new seats

thanks, nightcrawler. that thing actually looks quite presentable, they state it's comfy, and it isn't too $$ (particularly compared to the stock seats!).
I wonder if anybody else knows of any other options (so as to compare before I buy).
I'm one step away from jenny craig!
(oh, and I'm glad nobody called me out with a , post a vid!)
