Ask and you shall receive.

I bought mine from PartsForYour Car (PFYC), through forum member Redshift. The install was pretty easy.

Here's a helpful write up that is very similar to the way I did mine

And here are some other ideas

Put them in my wife's '01 when I modded the interior, and she LOVES them. Got them from Mid America, but many suppliers have them.
I also put the controls in the center console with the the traction control. The Forum was a great source of information.

Putting heated seats in my car is something I'd like to do someday. Nice mod and sure comes in handy on those cold winter days when you can get the car out.
