Default Anyone ever installed seat heaters in bride seats?

As the title states I was wondering if anyone here has ever tried installing seat heaters in a set of bride seats? Im currently looking into picking up a set of the bride gias low max seats but I really want to keep the heat in the seat that the stock ones have. Ive only sat in these seats once and didnt really get a good look at the construction of the padding on the seat bottom and the seat back but I know that you can buy replacement cushions for around $90 so I was thinking about picking up a second set of cushions and messing around with this idea. Anyone know if the replacement cushions include the seat back as well as the bottom? Anyways this is just an idea Im looking into and not sure if its possible or not so any info would be greatly appreciated.

For the Gias and Stradia, there are 3 total cushions, each has an MSRP of $75 to $125 each depending on the position (top, middle, bottom) and the color/scheme of the fabric

Yes, you can install heaters to them. One member here, Rotors has done it to his by retrofitting the ones (I believe) from his OEM seats.

Here is the thread you are looking for:

http://my350z.com/forum/exterior-and...ssr-nismo.html

There's a bunch of pages but most of the info you're looking for is towards the end. I've got a ton of pics when I had them done just haven't posted them all up. Dave from Function Tuned did them for me and took pics during the install.

Pretty cool and they are Jessica Alba approved
