I also use a face mask, the "bandit" style that covers from the nose down and attaches in the back with velcro. Easy to pull off a block before you arrive at your destination so that you don't look like a total wuss.  Get some thin leather gloves so that you can still feel the wheel, shifter and switches and that's enough to keep the hands from freezing over. I top it off with a thick wool cap. I look like a bank robber barreling down the 55 Freeway doing 80mph, but at least I'm warm.
Save your money and the pain of wiring something in your car and think portable.

Right now I'm going back and forth whether to have seat heaters installed, or buy vests.
The nice thing about seat heaters is you don't have to pack them when they are not in use. But then on the other hand if you are all bundled up, they have to penetrate all the clothing.
I'm going to go look at some vests tomorrow and see what they have and how bulky they are.
