Adding heated seats
Has anyone found a good aftermarket heated seat or heated seat covers for a backdraft?

This is what I put in mine - not a Backdraft, but that doesn't matter. I went with the waterproof version. They can be trimmed to fit, switches appear to be good quality.

Pretty funny, but no. I originally put heated seats in for my wife, who rides with me a lot. I'll admit that I like them as much as she does. We can comfortably tear around in the car with temps down in the upper 30's.

Should have bought a Vette, it has heated seats and airbags for your safety...

I have a vette but It's cold here in New Jersey and wanted to ride in a little comfort. By the way the Cobra is way more fun then the vette, I decided that the vette needed more power so she's getting a supercharger installed.

You're in Ohio, I'm guessing yours is stored for the winter. I'm in Florida and drive mine year round. I autocross twice a month and I'm on the interstate at 5am while it's sometimes 35 degrees outside. I run the heater and to be honest, heated seats sound like a fantastic addition to this almost 3K mile a year Cobra. So what's my world and some of the others here coming to? Comfort.
Thanks for your 2 cents.

Well OHIO since you can only drive your car about 7 months a year before you have to fog the ENGINE Block the TIRES, here in TEXAS we drive OUR COBRAS 12 months a year... and when it is SUNNY and 45 degrees, November through MARCH that's HOW WE ROLL...
In fact, were headed out today to a TEXAS winery while you car is on lock down...
JUST SAYING!!!!
BTW i have Backdraft HEATED seats and they have 2 options

Some people have different views of "sports cars". Your car, do as you like, but be ready for the occasional disparaging remark. I felt I was pushing it when I added a power outlet. At least I kept it hidden. My cup holder sits in the right hand seat.

The heater does so little, I don't even use it - can only feel it when stopped anyway. The heated seats are way better - warm buns feel good on those chilly days. I mounted my switches out of view so they don't detract from the vintage look of the Cobra replica. Mine is finally stored for the winter but I managed to put over 4,500 miles on it this year.

I don't even drive my car unless it's at least 60 degrees. But what bugs me even more than cold weather is wind. I really don't like driving her when the wind is blowing hard.  |

I have the crimestopper seat heaters. When I worked at a dealership I installed a few and never had a comeback or complaint.
If you want the switches up front you'll have to extend the harness, I usually use a stinger 9wire cable to make the run. On modern cars the harness is plenty long enough to mount switches in the console with no modification, so if you found a way to mount them near your seat you'd be set. The relay portion is tricky to hide on my Cobra, usually I would mount it under the seat. I just have it wrapped in black felt and hot glued to the carpet behind the seat.
They are warm in a couple of minutes, hot in about 15 and at that point I usually turn them to low. I drove from Austin to El Paso this Christmas and they were great when the sun went down in the desert.
