I have all weather tires, heated seats, Bluetooth stereo(phone too),extra large side wings , working wipers (3 of them), and finally I am buying new wheels, (I hate the ones I have)....I'll also challenge anyone to a race....😊

I have the crimestopper seat heaters. When I worked at a dealership I installed a few and never had a comeback or complaint.

If you want the switches up front you'll have to extend the harness, I usually use a stinger 9wire cable to make the run. On modern cars the harness is plenty long enough to mount switches in the console with no modification, so if you found a way to mount them near your seat you'd be set. The relay portion is tricky to hide on my Cobra, usually I would mount it under the seat. I just have it wrapped in black felt and hot glued to the carpet behind the seat.

They are warm in a couple of minutes, hot in about 15 and at that point I usually turn them to low. I drove from Austin to El Paso this Christmas and they were great when the sun went down in the desert.

What's this world coming to, heated seats in a repica Cobra, are we talking "girly men"

Well OHIO since you can only drive your car about 7 months a year before you have to fog the ENGINE Block the TIRES, here in TEXAS we drive OUR COBRAS 12 months a year... and when it is SUNNY and 45 degrees, November through MARCH that's HOW WE ROLL...

In fact, were headed out today to a TEXAS winery while you car is on lock down...

JUST SAYING!!!!

BTW i have Backdraft HEATED seats and they have 2 options

When are you guys adding cruise control, anti lock brakes, air bags, and an auto transmission??? The term Visceral should describe a Cobra, my daily driver has less options than your cobra's, nobody really cares what you do with it. its your car, just like most don't care what Bruce Jenner does with his body, just seems a little strange to me, but that's why we have options, I guess...:LOL:

it's not about being macho, it's about driving a sports car, it's about the experience, the tradition, one must suffer the little dis comforts, to fully appreciate the car, and what the car is meant to be. Again, if you want creature comfort, buy something different.

IMHO, you are not a real enthusiast.

That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. I hope you are kidding. Are you the new Real1?

Has anyone installed aftermarket powered windows and top?

jhv48 01-24-2016 12:47 PM

I bought my wife a heated vest. It's lithium battery powered and keeps her warm no matter what the temp is outside. Puts it on under a jacket and she's nice and toasty.

Thought about one for myself, but here in Southern California, we only have about a week of winter weather.

We actually have ABS this year. Heated seats for about 6 years. I'm not opposed to the AWD idea, I think we will try Turbos first. Depends on the "enthusiasm" or our clients :LOL::LOL::LOL:
