Default Any aftermarket heated seat reccomendations?

As some of you may have seen, I just got some Shelby leather take offs last night. I was thinking if I'm gonna have leather seats, I may as well go all out and get some heated seats to go along with it. Is there any specific one any of you would reccomend from personal experience? And also, I have the Metra dash kit, which has the buttons for the heated seats for those Mustangs that already came stock with the heated seat option. Is there any way that I can make those functional using aftermarket heated seats?

i don;t think you can set up the switch on the metra kit unless you run a relay. not worth it because the aftermarket seats usually have 2 heat setting and the OEM only 1 heat setting.

I recommend the Dormer brand whcih you can get at advance auto. be sure you check fatwallet for coupons.

Yeah I was looking at the 2 setting thing on the aftermarket heated seats. I'll look into that brand. Thanks!

You can pick up just the heated pads and switches for like 70 bucks each off Ebay.
Just install in your OEM seats.

Is there anything else I'd need with those?

Well, I've been looking at the eBay heated seats and what I've found through Google searches. I found this website that is offering a kit for about $40 (at the bottom) that has the exact same description as the ones that are listed for about $90. Does it seem like a legit website? Should I pull the trigger at that price? And should I get the optional 5' extension for $5? http://www.sportsimportsltd.com/univ...eater-kit.html
