Adding heated seats
Has anyone found a good aftermarket heated seat or heated seat covers for a backdraft?

This is what I put in mine - not a Backdraft, but that doesn't matter. I went with the waterproof version. They can be trimmed to fit, switches appear to be good quality.

Pretty funny, but no. I originally put heated seats in for my wife, who rides with me a lot. I'll admit that I like them as much as she does. We can comfortably tear around in the car with temps down in the upper 30's.

Should have bought a Vette, it has heated seats and airbags for your safety...

I have a vette but It's cold here in New Jersey and wanted to ride in a little comfort. By the way the Cobra is way more fun then the vette, I decided that the vette needed more power so she's getting a supercharger installed.

Some people have different views of "sports cars". Your car, do as you like, but be ready for the occasional disparaging remark. I felt I was pushing it when I added a power outlet. At least I kept it hidden. My cup holder sits in the right hand seat.

Exactly. But if someone feels more macho by being uncomfortable, that's fine.

You're in Ohio, I'm guessing yours is stored for the winter. I'm in Florida and drive mine year round. I autocross twice a month and I'm on the interstate at 5am while it's sometimes 35 degrees outside. I run the heater and to be honest, heated seats sound like a fantastic addition to this almost 3K mile a year Cobra. So what's my world and some of the others here coming to? Comfort.
Thanks for your 2 cents.

The heater does so little, I don't even use it - can only feel it when stopped anyway. The heated seats are way better - warm buns feel good on those chilly days. I mounted my switches out of view so they don't detract from the vintage look of the Cobra replica. Mine is finally stored for the winter but I managed to put over 4,500 miles on it this year.

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.

I don't even drive my car unless it's at least 60 degrees. But what bugs me even more than cold weather is wind. I really don't like driving her when the wind is blowing hard.  |

Whatever. I have heated seats, a heater, and a stereo, and it makes the car more usable during those 40 degree mornings for me and my passenger. The car is a beast, and staying a bit warmer doesn't take anything away from that. I built it myself, and I'm not afraid to do major work on the car or the engine. I think I qualify as a real enthusiast. |
