Default Ventilated seats?

...I noticed this on a lexus commercial so thought Id post this here. I also noticed canadian versions of Acura RLs have air conditioned seats. We are fortunate to have perforated leather seats (at least on us sport seat models) so my back does not get sweaty in the top down/summer heat like it used to with my old car. However if we could pump air thru the seats that would be awesome so I dont get swamp back or swamp ****.

I already thermalized the tunnel, so it has cut down approx 65% of the heat radiating thru the floor. Is there such thing as aftermarket ventilated seats (like we have aftermarket heated seats)? If not I wonder what kind of air pump may be able to be used in such a manner. I imagine some sort of perforated bladder would have to be used under the seat.
