    Reupholstered Red Heated Seats and new switch location

    Thought I would share with this forum my reupholstered red leather seats, and show where I installed my heated seat switches. I don't recall seeing switches in this location before, and I think they turned out great.

    Background - obviously these are aftermarket seat heaters. My son and I reupholstered the seats in cardinal red leater using kits from Kevin Chinn, and so we added aftermarket seat heaters in the process. Sorry that I don't have better pictures of the reupholstered seats but I think they turned out great too. I think I could have done a better job of the install, so any imperfections you see are the fault on the installer, not the kit maker!

    Thanks.

        The seat kits were $1,200 but that was well over a year ago, so I don't know if his prices have changed. I had Kevin apply matching red leather to the front seat backs too, but I don't recall how much that was.

                Nice job and great looking seats! All of Kevin's creations I've seen appear to be top-notch work.

                While I applaud your effort, I would recommend taking your seats to a pro to have them do the final fitting. They will pull and steam the creases perfectly for you and the seats will look OEM. I think you'll be even happier with the results. :D
