AS to the question as to how they feel, I cant even tell they are there when I am sitting down. Thinking about removing them as so many of you guys purchased them, to be without them out be a rarity! :willy

j/k, I LOVE THEM!

This is my guess. They usually don't do anything, but they do have the option of opening the box to see if what is inside matches the written description on the outside. If they decide to pull your box a delay will occur.


Those liberal SF'ers. I'm still waiting for mine to make it past the Iron Curtain (Orange County).

Who do we have to talk to, to get it here before next Wed? :bored

Andrew from Exoticare responded to my email today and they had shipped a few days ago. Yippee!

I hope they reach Phoenix by Tuesday. If not, then I should have a present waiting for me after the Rally.

Okay guys flame away... I went and sat on the buttons in my Bday suit. I was able to adjust myself just enough where, ehhhmmmm, each nut fit in the button perfectly. It was a good feeling until they warmed up and became uncomfortable. Mind you I did this in the passenger seat. Anyone want a ride?:willy:willy:willy

If you got a shipping number you can track it until in gets to the USPS, then it disappears until you get them. I would allow 4 days from when in get into the US. If they shipped Mon. you should have them by Tue. if all goes well. If they haven't shipped yet then you are out of luck for the Rally.

I did get mine - shipped via CAPOST 8/21. Left to USPOST depot and checked in on 8/27. Showed up 8/30. Three days from Toronto to NC ~ 1k miles

Andrew should mark them "perishable"

Got the buttons today! Installed already and they are an incredible "bang for the buck".

Team Jeff will be down soon to check 'em out and I predict another order will be submitted. Especially since they've got a SP GT40.

Thanks Shadowman - they make a hell of a difference. Even from standing outside the car - they "pop".

DBK I am glad that you like them; as discussed another care package will arrive soon

Now as for the buttons and the heat; I found no thermal differences with them versus the OEM plastic as such in retrospect we should have packaged a sheet if peel and stick dots for all to place on there arse when in Vegas.

I hope that to a person that you enjoy them.

Now something worthy of sharing; the anodizing process typically leaves a small mark on the inside at one point where the electrode is attached; this my friends is a component of their character as such they should be installed with the mark at 12 o'clock on the back portion of the seats and at 3 o'clock on the bottom bolster and it will never be noticed; furthermore once they are fully installed the picture as presented causes this minor character trait to all but disappear.

Takes care

Shadowman

Would that be 12 o'clock , 3 o'clock on the drivers side and 12 o'clock, 9 o'clock passenger side?

Thanks. Andrew promptly responded and mine are in the US, so I just might get them in time!

just to echo others comments. I just installed mine, took 5 minutes and they look great! This is a MUST HAVE for any GT owner. Its amazing how it transforms the interior of the car. Thanks Shadowman and Andrew!! :thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

Initially i was worried about comfort after installation but there is no noticeable difference at all.

FYI with HOT BUTTONS in extreme heat!...

I put them in last night and drove out for a drink. And even this morning for another long jaunt from Peoria to Scottsdale and I didn't notice any noticeable heat different between the black seat portion and the metal HOT BUTTON. Just like Shadowman said.

However, the GT did sit out in the AZ sun this afternoon, at about 108 degrees, for several hours and then I definitely had a noticeable difference between the black seat and the HOT BUTTON. And I do mean HOT!

Having said that, I could almost not stand to touch the shift knob or anything else that was metal inside either.

Those of us traveling to Las Vegas this week that have HOT BUTTONS might want to keep this in mind.

They're DAMN SWEET looking and staying in regardless.
