Anyways, any idea of how hard it really is to do myself? I know you put them in your SVT, Journie, any pointers for a fellow SW-VA-ian? Midnight Red '95 Contour SE.

I found this thread: http://www.contour.org/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=groupbuy&Number=420673&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=14&fpart=1 in the GB forum. Looks like they don't draw much, and you can just wire them in with the power seats. -06 GTO Torrid Red/M6 -98 LS with BPU -05 Honda Odyssey EX-L mv .zig ..\for\great\.justice

Kit seems nice, but of course I have yet to install it Midnight Red '95 Contour SE. YoDude quasi-dual cat-back w/ Dynomax muffler. SVT UIM and TB. KKM True-Rev CAI.

Its fairly easy to do.Youll have to remove the seats and take the leather back.Youll need a pair of hog ring pliers and hog rings. It will take a couple hours to instal, wire up and mount your switches. Dont Tap into the power seat wiring.Run it all the way to the fuse box.Save yourself some troubles if you leave the switch on,the power seats have power to them at all times.So if you leave the heaters on,there goes your battery and maybe a fire.... Wire them to a switched power. If your ever down my way I would be happy to help. I AM WE TODD IT I AM SOFA KING WE TODD IT
