No lumps, no bumps. It is a carbon fiber mesh, rather than the thicker wire you would find spiraling through an old electric blanket. I didn't notice any difference in comfort with the heaters off. Like you say it is a fairly cheap experiment.
Bugger, I paid that price with two position switches. Some things keep getting cheaper.

I always shop around before buying anything. Drives the wife nuts. it took me 3 years to buy an HD tv..... LOL

Can't wait.

Beats all you ever saw
Wish I could! Would be fun!
I found out that the wide attachment for a shop vac we have fits almost perfect and some modding would get it to stay and be airtight.
Now we just have to figure out how to get it through the seat
you can get the bottom pads from Ford for about $100 a chair and the perforated leather is $50 (scratch that if you have cloth as it should go right through). Or you could find salvage seats in a junkyard but there's no guarantee there. So that means about $75 a chair for air conditioned and heated seats (labor and beer would be extra). Let me know what you guys think!

Well I went out and took a few pictures to see if anyone can help us figure this out. One picture is of the back of the seat when I unzipped it and the other is the vent.
