Is the Recaro package worth it?

i just got through putting in the recaros from the focus st in my FiST. Little bit of work taking the things apart. Ford uses rivets for one of the parts, little irritating having to drill those out.

FiST recaros would definitely be easier.
did anyone ever try to put in heated seats (recaro or otherwise) into a fiesta without heated? I had initially thought that the Recaros I got, from tasca, had the heated seats parts in them. So I prepared for that. Anyways, they didnt, and I found that my wiring harness at connector C300 (driver's seat) didnt have the wires for heated seats. Kinda sad, but I guess it saved me tons of time and work.

for the airbags, I cut the wires from the focus recaros and but connected them to the wires on the fiesta base seats so that i can use original wiring and connectors. Seat position track sensors are the same parts on both seats. I transferred the original seat belt buckle over. So in general, I did as much as I could to use the original wiring harness because of the connector from seat to the car (C300). I had also bought an extra driver side seat slider base to do all of this which I wont do for the passenger side. Assuming that I can follow wiring diagrams correctly (my airbag light is not on... And I killed my battery since I was playing music the whole that I was working), from the recaro airbag, orange stripe wire connects to the blue stripe wire on the base seats before the connector for airbags (C300 something) that should be the positive line. The other is the "return" line.

so since I used a separate slider base (I had to tap it in a few places to get bolts/screws to go in), I created a little more work for myself but I wanted to figure things out before doing something wrong on my only seat that I have.

I'll post pics later today... I should boot up my computer.
