    Those look very similar to the ones I put in the Miata:

    If the seats come out of the VX fairly easily and the covers come off and will go back on with some sort of semblance to how they looked before, it would be pretty easy mod to do. The Miata seats are formed like the Recaro- though not quite as drastic. Bottom line, I would assume an auto upholstery shop would handle the seat side of the mod no problem.

    The seats themselves are easy to remove/install.
    The upholstery is very difficult to pull though. I've looked at this considerably lately (it's 42 below zero today).

    Does the Trooper/Rodeo have a heated seat option? I'd like to use that button/switch for an aftermarket seat heater.

    If anything, I might just get a couple of those lame ones that plug into the 12v outlet. At least it'll keep the buns off of the leather.

    mbeach,

    Seriously, at -42 deg. it's no longer considered a " clothing optional" event.

    The axiom has heated seats with 2 buttons on the console.

    Yes, the Troopers have heated seats aswell. Two swiches in the middle in the console next to the shifter.
