Heated Seat Kits! Group buy anyone?

thenamessean04 · Thu Oct 27, 2005 2:42 pm

Would anyone be interested in a group buy of heated seat kits? I can buy nice kits for only $70 each, but we would have to buy 10 sets to get that price. ($80ea. for 1-3 sets, $75ea. for 4-9 sets)If enough people were in on it we could probably get a cheaper price. I replaced the complete interior in my focus and consider myself a pro at it now

so if we had an install party I could get the covers off and on really quickly (hog rings and all). If someone is good at wiring stuff than it would be a breaze. This is my first car without heated seats so I am going to buy 2 kits(driver and passenger) even if nobody else does. I'm just seeing if anyone else would want to. Anyone? THE LINK TO LOOK AT THE KITS IS: http://www.heatedseatkits.com/products.php THEN CLICK ON THE HEIZGERAT SETZT II. This is the kit.

FYI: when on the site it says, "Complete kit, with optional professional installation kit" You don't need the optional professional install kit because I already have one. I called the sales department and he told me it's just hog rings and pliers which I already own.

well will this make a difference with cloth seats?

thenamessean04 · Thu Oct 27, 2005 4:18 pm

In what sense? do you mean will thay work with cloth? of course. If you mean will it make that much of a difference with cloth seats compared to leather then yes. Radiant heat is still radiant heat and when its 20 below in january our cloth seats are still going to be -20 as well. I believe the seat heaters pump out 104 degrees in 2 minutes or less which is a heck of a lot faster than our stock heaters. I owned a saab and a volvo with cloth and heated seats and it was great. I wouldn't even wear a jacket thay were so warm. I hope that answered your very unspacific question.

If it didn't, reword it for me and i'll give it another shot.

Sean do you have any pics of your interior?

thenamessean04 · Thu Oct 27, 2005 4:46 pm

wow. It feels really weird to have my name used in a direct statement toward me in text.

Anyways, no I do not. If I remember I will take pics when i go home for the weekend(from school). Why do you ask?

Would you be willing to help install the kits? like taking the upulstry off and retro fitting the kit and putting it all back together?

Haha do you mean would I do ALL the work? I figured it would be more fun to get everyone involved. Of course I would be willing to help. I thought that was implied but I must not have said it well enough. If I had to do all of everyone's kit it would feel a lot more like work than fun. It's not that hard. I could walk everyone through it at an instal party.

Well yes I can do the work too but I am just unaware of how to remove the upulstry and shit.

Oh I would for sure show you how to do it. It's not hard. I taught myself how to do it while I was taking off my old upulstry. I had side airbags that were a pain in the ass too so if you don't it would be even easier.

I can prob get my hands on a pnuematic hog ring gun and rings.....

thenamessean04 · Thu Oct 27, 2005 9:11 pm

Haha that would be total overkill! Only like 8 go in each seat.
