I'd like to add seat heaters. Any suggestions?
Thank you,
Tim
These are what I installed:

They are simple to install and work great.

I installed the Cobra Heat seat heaters over 10 years ago when I built my car and they still work like new! They go a long way in keeping you warm in these open cars.

Call Mike Forte. I put a set of his in my wife's 2010 Mustang GT

Do it! Probably the best thing I did for driver comfort, at least on colder days. It's really easy, too. I used cobraheat as well. Just remove the seat covers, place the heaters as per instructions, and wire them up.
A toasty bum and back make a huge difference on a cold drive.

Got mine form Mike Forte and they work great! Nice addition on those cool mornings. Mine were also CobraHeat and easy to hook up.

Amazon sells them too. Bought the waterproof version. Does a good job of taking the chill off on chilly rides. Car can easily be driven in the 50’s even high 40’s with the seats on. Good luck.

Same as Papa, JLR, silver, & chuck. I'd like to say that when CraigS helped me install mine that influenced his decision, but I'd just be kidding myself (Craig has forgotten more about these cars than almost all of us will ever know). Seat heaters are as close to luxury as you're going to get in these cars.

You can get them a lot of places but supporting a guy who has supported FR since the beginning is a good thing.
I tested mine for real today. I drove ~25 miles to the Colorado State Patrol this morning in 20 degree temps and I was fine with a stocking cap, gloves, a lined leather jacket and my seat heaters!

Trying out Doorman heated seat pads from Amazon. Look similar to the Warm Seats and Cobra Valley but a fraction of the cost. We'll see how they hold up :cool:
