Heated Seats and GPS added..
So I got this as a Christmas gift from my bro... seat warmers professionally installed under the seats with switches. Love them!! So comfy. Very evenly distributed heat. LED glows amber when set to low, and red when set to high.
Oh and also I bought the Pioneer AVIC-S1 portable navigation unit last fall after going camping. My bro had a demo unit and I loved it so much that I ended up going out and buying one for myself.
And this is the product:
# Includes both seat bottom and backrest
# Requires no cutting of upholstery
# Hi / Lo settings
# Thermostatically controlled
# Relieves back and neck pain
# Reduces driving stress

Rep Power: 0 I didn't pay anything for the seats. It was a XMAS gift.
As for the GPS, I paid $370 US from eBay, no taxes or duty fees. This price was shipped ($325 + $45 shipping) to Canada.
I had to play with the settings to get it to take me the route I wanted.. It doesn't take into account the fact that some areas may have higher traffic or more lights, or congestion.. it simply calculates the FASTEST ROUTE or SHORTEST ROUTE, whatever you set it to. I had a bitch of a time before I set it to FASTEST ROUTE.. now things are pretty good. You can set to avoid toll routes and so may other features.. really recommended @ that price if you can get it.

anyone make a/c seats i live in texas and dont have much of a need for heated ( dont laugh my buddies benz actually does have ac and heat in his seats, although his car was like 150000 )
Was thinking about putting them on my rsx seats. Are they the ones from Automotive Seat Heaters for Cars and Trucks from AutoWarm.com.

Rep Power: 0 Thanks, I really think it looks stock too.
I know you can buy sticky CF pieces, but I think the stickers look gay. Honda did a good job with the factory CF pieces IMO.
As for pics of the install, no I don't have them because I just gave my brother my car and he had his guys do the install. From what I know, they are very thin carbon fiber pads that heat up, rather than the old generation wires that mesh and criss cross.. this is the newest generation of seat warmers apparently. This ensures evenly distributed heat, and that it won't overheat your back to the point of burning (like the old wire style).

Rep Power: 0 yes of course I will find out and post the prices in this thread so everyone can get a hold of them. I'm not 100% sure you can just order these pieces tho. I mean, they don't just 'snap on' to your existing dash and stuff, nor do they stick on. They are their own pieces, so I mean, I don't know how you would install it. I don't know much about customization, I just let others take care of it for me 
But I'll definately pass the info on to you guys

Rep Power: 0 The heated seats are an awesome idea up here in ontario. Do you think you could ask your brother around how much they were installed? And who did them? I really want to get them but don't know of any good shops that I can trust.
ps - I've got the same CF in my car and I love how it looks.

www.mass.ca did the work, but they do work on new dealer vehicles mostly.. so say you buy a hummer and want TV's, xbox, rear view camera, whatever... they send your new hummer to them, they do the custom installs, and you pick up your hummer at the dealership. Don't know if they do off the street customers, if u know what I mean

Rep Power: 388 wow, Carbon fiber looks really good! I have a tan interior, do they have tan conole with the carbon fiber top? I'm off to do some research!
Cant find anything for the tan interior- any link to part sellers in canada that might have the center console for a tan interior civic?
