UPDATE: Seat Cooler...
About a week ago I posted a thread about the "Summer Seat" seat cooler. That thread and the product can be viewed here:
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show...1&forum_id=103
Anyway, my complaint was that after long trips in the car my back tends to get sweaty and I generally feel nasty. This is a real problem for those of us who drive our C5s (or other vehicles) around for work. I was tired of looking like a sweaty wrinkled bum.
Anyway, I can definitely recommend this product. The difference is amazing. It doesn't fit the seats perfectly, but it keeps me cool. I can clearly feel the cold air circulating behind my back when I use this thing. No more sweat or discomfort.
I am concerned that I may need to put something between it and the leather to prevent unusual wear and tear...but I am not sure. Either way, I promised an update...here it is. The product works. It doesn't fit perfectly, but I will not be without it on future trips or around town in the summer.

As for pics...believe it or not, I do not have a digital camera. I know that's lame, but I never got around to buying one. I'll post pics, but I needto get them developed. Might be a couple days.

Sticky Heat...This is preciscly the reason I got short pile sheepskins for my C5..No sweat or heat sensation in the summer, and in the winter, no cold freeze either. i know they are not to popular, but I wouldn't be without them in a daily driver with leather or vinyl seats.

Looks great! I was looking into a trim shop to put on my VE skins and there is one near me that will also install seat heaters/seat coolers for around 500 extra bucks. It's integrated under the leather apparantly...
