go to the junkyard buy the heating units that are inside the seats and wire them up to a switch. If you don't know how get a wiring diagram from a EL or Prelude with heated seats.

Do you have the actual seats from a different car and need help wiring? Or want to modify your seats to have the heating option?

Well 8th Gen seats won't fit. Will need modding. I am not sure if you can just use your stock rails or not, but for wiring, check the other "heated seat" thread I wrote out a thing on how to wire it.

Into his 08 Civic? I don't know. They might swap in easily since it's a new car. They bolt into 92-00 Civics I know that.

When you get the seats let me know and I will help you wire them it won't be that hard. You will have to get some switches and relays.

That's my write-up, right?

Here's some info on HT for 7th Gen heated seats. Coles Notes: Basically, some/all Acura ELs got them, I think some CDM Civics got em.

You CAN install them yourself using aftermarket elements -- it's not hard and might even be cheaper than retrofitting your interior.
