[QUOTE="Paul., post: 13931908, member: 156070"] Got them in today. This was quite a bit of work, and even more money. However, the end result is worth it. I wonder if anyone else has done power / OEM heated Recaros yet? If not, hopefully someone will take the writeups by TOB and me and tackle it for themselves. So a quick wrap up... Here's the breakdown of what it took to do this: - OEM "Comfort Package" with dual power/heated seats - (2) Upper and (2) Bottom seat heater pads from Tousley - ~$310 - FRPP Cloth Recaros, I paid $2500 private party. The best I've seen is about $2800 new - Shelby Leather skins, I paid $800 from Rehagen because I wanted white stripes, which are a little more rare than all black - About 20 hours of work total I think. You may be able to do it more quickly... I'm slow. - Various small prying tools, trim tools, picks, screwdrivers, torx driver, 13mm and 15mm sockets - Lots of patience and attention to detail Everything works just like factory. The support on these seats is NIGHT AND DAY different from my stock 401A seats. They are so much more comfortable and supportive, and having the adjustable lumbar swapped into the Recaro is nice. It's a little soon to tell, but I have feeling this will be absolute favorite mod on the car. Having a nice seat and a nice steering wheel makes all the difference in a car - especially if you drive it daily like I do. I'm thrilled with the result. The heated seats are really nice too, except on a day like today where it was 85* in Phoenix while the rest of the country is under feet of snow and ice. Overall, [i]if you have the means, I highly recommend it.[/i] :banana: Paul. [ATTACH=full]550158[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]550159[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
