Question 2000 Civic- adding aftermarket heated seats

Hello everyone--

I tried posting this in interior DIY, but it wouldn't let me.

Anyways, I'm investigating adding aftermarket heated seats to my Gf's 2000 Civic sedan.

I found these kits for $90 per seat:

My question is, does this kit look decent?

And, how hard is it to remove the seat cover on this car? Is it easy or are there special clips holding it in place?

Thanks for the help.

instaling them is definatly not really hard... its really easy. hardest part is pulling your factory seat covers and reinstalling them tightly.... the wiring is pretty basic..... simple 2 wire hookup to the fuse box. one ground anywhere on the cars metal, and one power wire to the fuse box with a fuse.
ive wanted to put them in my car but just never bought them... ive also wanted to do cooled seats as well which is just as easy by simply cutting out some foam and sticking in some fans to suck air from the back blowing towards ur back

Thanks for the input and the diagram, gentlemen.

I think I'll attempt to do this myself.

$90 a set for the seat heaters is about the lowest I could find as well.
