Good luck!

I doubt you'll find powered/heated seats that will fit in the FD. Someone recently tried the NSX powered seats and they wouldn't fit.

IMO, if you want luxury seats, buy a luxury car.

If you just want leather seats, recover your stock seats:

www.leatherseats.com

Check this link for some pictures of recovered stock seats with the skins from Leatherseats.com:

The stock Seat! You know you own what is considered the truest sense of a sports car. It was built for driving not living in.

That's why you "recover" them.

Did you pull the old cover off?

Most aftermarket seats have a "leather option" if you actually looked:

Stock seats. If you want luxury, you're looking at buying the wrong car.

There really are only 2 places for the "smell" to come from:

1. Seat cover
2. Seat foam

Both are replaceable.

I'll mention autoleathers.com which is like leatherseats.com that was mentioned but they have an option for seat heaters they will bring up as your selecting your colors etc.
