^^ No. never said i wanted to replace the seats. I think an opulstry shop could take the stock seats and put the seat heater under the stock leather/ cloth wichever you have and then u have a heated race seat...

Yea its very fun to drive in the snow, but when I'm done and get out of the evo and look at it, I'm like ah crap its filthy again!

We had a lil ice storm here last night and they only put salt on the main roads because of the shortage, so I had some fun this morning.

lol some of you are so funny. ya i drive an evo, doesnt mean i cant want heated seats. they will be installed on thursday. both fronts for 550. do i need heated seats? absolutely not, but do i want them? most definitely. most fabric on seats are stapled and not glued, so any car that has stapleled seats can have heated seats installed/ its gonna be the same seats and its going to look exactly the same. if any one has questions let me know. thanks for most of the responses

the seats came out great. they heat up very fast because they are cloth. the recaros look exactly the same, you cant tell any work was done. they installed the 2 buttons for them in front of the ash trash and behind the shifter. 2 settings high and low. has an automatic shut off if it gets too hot. overall seems def worth it to me and im glad i did it.
