Those Nakamae units don't take full advantage of the tunnel top, though. They raise it to match the front of the stock center console. More like this.

They look like Nakamae seats
And yes, they are very expensive. From what I found they are around $800 each in vinyl or $1200 each in leather, then they must be shipped from Japan.

I think I helped install one of those in a Miata.

Nope, it was a different one. We had to narrow the seat.
I've always wanted to put a set of classic 911 seats in a Miata, there are some super-tasty ones out there. I did do a 914 seat install last year that was pretty easy.

keith that looks like the baja seat on corbeaus website, looks pretty good in the miata.
i found a few pics of the classics. http://clubroadster.net/vb_forum/showthread.php?t=52911 guy complains they sit too high, but I felt the same way with my corbeau forza seat with the corbeau slider rail, you sit just as high as the stock seat, not any lower.

Corbeaus sit tall in my experience. Nothing that can't be altered with some effort, but if you need a bolt-in setup it's a hassle.
