Absolutely! We modified the ashtray to house aftermarket buttons (as well as a subwoofer **** for my custom box). Full build for that is here: https://www.diymobileaudio.com/threa.../#post-6097520


But, you could also just stick the aftermarket buttons on the side of the LWB near the height adjustment. There are only two settings on most aftermarket heating elements. If you already have heated 18-way seats and you're installing LWBS aftermarket, what I would do is order the OE 18-way heating elements and install those in your LWBS seat inserts; then you can maintain the OE heated seat switches. But if you didn't already have heated seat switches from the factory, I personally wouldn't go down the rabbit hole of adding the OE switches aftermarket, as those are controlled by CANBUS.

This will probably be an unpopular position.., I have owned a GT3 Touring for 4 years, I have the buckets, I drove it plenty on roads and track (over 10k miles) and .. They look fantastic and are great for track work, but to claim they are super comfortable I think is a bit of a stretch. They amplify the harshness of the suspensions and in traffic or long drives they become tiring.
Not surprising, they are race oriented buckets...i love the Speedster and one day I may buy one, for that car where there will be zero track work, I would definitely look for "sofas"

I’m with you the LWB are not the most comfortable especially on longer drives. My lower back gets stiff and legs feel numb on 3+ hour drives. That being said, going with sofas for me would take away from the sportiness of the car. If I wanted a Cadillac I would buy a Cadillac😉

Love the LWB. Have Purple plaid inserts that really are comfortable. Isn't hard to get into and out with top down.
