There have been some in the past, but photos I do not have, only in my memory.
The key to these seats and a good return is realizing you WILL need custom reupholstery work!

So, start picking your colors and post some pics when you're done ...

My car fitted with beards (not low backs though).
In grey cloth and pleather.
Bought some additional material from beard and had the door panels and rear seat done.
adjusted the rear seat frames to fit around the cage too...

I thought installing aftermarket seats were like going against the grain in your car club?

  Hey Hanz... they sit nice and low below window line.  and yes they are comfortable would be even better if I wasn't quite so wide.
