Before I bought a CTR, I kept hearing here and in car reviews how wonderful and comfortable the seats are. After purchase, I agree that the seats look and feel great and does a wonderful job of holding me in one place, but for me, they caused pain every time I drove because they don't provide much lumber support.
I have had a lumber support pillow thinggie in a few cars and was planning to use one of them in the CTR . . . . until I realized that they don't fit the CTR seats because (i) the bolstering is pretty aggressive in this car such that the rubber band that secure these things to the seats would push the pillows out of place (i.e., off the backrest), and (ii) these seats are one piece as you know, and therefore mounting methods involving the separation of the headrests from the rest of the seats are not available.
Finally, I found and bought this lumber support memory form back pillow.
This lumber cushion is black, so it matches the seats and the rest of the interior, it fits the backrest and the bolsters perfectly (lays flat on the backrest), and the straps go through the aluminum holes in the seats and buckle together. We can disagree on the aesthetics but it is the best solution I have found thus far.
If you have been suffering from backache due to lack of lumber support in your Type R, you may want to try this out. I am very happy with it.
