JCW Seats?

I just saw that there are JCW seats on the JCW page. Any one have these? How much are they? They look great!

Are they ever going to be available OEM in the USA? I'd totally throw a bit down for these.

OK, I'm stupid, but how the hell does an airbag in a seat work? Does it inflate under your butt and goose you?

Not sure, but they might be side bags to keep your head from smashing into the window when hit broadside.

They are nice. How many of you would pay $6,000 per seat for them?
