Leather Heated Seats in the SS
#12
A big factor in my decision to purchase a used 2LT was the heated leather seats. Another was the low pice, because a loaded manual 2007 didn't retain as much resale value after the SS came out in 2008! GM doesn't use the highest grade of leather, but it's good enough. There are only two heating steps, whereas friend's Z4 has 3, but it's good enough. GM never offered a heated or leather seat option for the SS. And now that the SS has been discontinued, we know it never will.
Has anyone done a retrofit of leather/heated seats to an SS? One way would be to try to find heated leather seats from a totalled 2LT and also do wiring. However, then the sports seats' additional support would be gone. The better way, in my opinion, would be to reupholster the sports seats with a better grade of leather and install seat heaters in the process.
If I were to step up to a used SS in 2-3 years, I would want to do one or the other.

My local upholstery shop wants about $250 per seat, parts and labor to outfit the SS seats with a kit. Or do it yourself here. Not as nice as the factory buttons on the waterfall, but maybe they can be found on eBay if it's important to some.
