Summers coming seats too hot
 

For you folks who have had the brz limited or monogram frs how do u guys deal with the warmer weather the seats give little to no ventilation and I don't want my seats to smell like back sweat

Considering getting bamboo seat covers as last resort :bonk:

Get tint. It helps a lot. I've never thought my brz seats were hot. Just the steering wheel is hot in the summer for mine.

Also, a sunshade.

All Windows tinted. What Sun shade you get?

I got the Subaru sunshade. There are definitely cheaper ones out there, but fitment is perfect and it stows easily.

Maybe look at getting the windshield done with 80-90% tint. I'm going to do mine with Llumar air 80, but I need to get the glass replaced first.

I um......turn my air conditioner on!

Llumar air 80 in the front, Llumar 30% all around. Never gets "too" hot for me and I'm in socal.

same here. the steering wheel gets super hot

not worried bout the steering wheel being hot i only drive with two fingers most of the time,
i was planning on tints after my spring semester, i don't think tinting the front windshield is legal here any %,
got sunshades today at walmart turns out they were too big so i gave em to my dad for his camry,

AC cools my front not my my back, legs, and bottom :(

Actually, aftermarket tint on windshield and front driver's side and front passenger's side windows is illegal in California.

I have a tinted front windshield and tinted 2 front doors. Tinted or not, the car is still hot if you park it outside. If you have a sunshade (as do I), it reduces the heat on the interior of the car.. more than a tinted windshield.

If it's hot enough to make your back sweat.. you need the AC on.

I have 3M Crystalline... it's currently the world's most advanced film. More advanced than Air 80, hyper optik, and formula 1. I can say that when the sun is hitting me directly... it doesn't burn... but there is still heat being stored in the car.

Yes, tint on the two front doors and front windshield is illegal. If you really want it, I advise a light tint (lighter than 40%). Windows are tinted from factory... adding more tint on that will make it darker.

Yup, 3M 20% on regular Windows and Suntek 80% on windshield. Unbearable when parked in Sun. Also asphalt color doesn't help. Any recommendations for sunshade besides Subaru one?

i bought a sunshade that is meant for the frs for like $20 on amazon. it fits perfectly.

how much was the tint for the car?

Febreze them seats!

But truth be told, unless you are on a long trip you should not sweat much unless you don't run the AC. Even when I drive to LA (about an hour each way) I don't feel like I am drenched in sweat -- at least enough to effect the seats or my comfort level.

I really wish they gave us a chilled seat option rather than heated seats that I will never use.

Not true.

It's only illegal if you exceed the legal limits. You can use a clear UV-only tint on the fronts.

As already stated, tint and a sunshade. The OEM sunshade is perfect. Definately worth the money.

Lol shifter sweater.
I just burnt my hand(exaggerating a little) on my steering wheel going out to lunch. I have 20% tints on sides/back,80% on front, and Covercraft sunshade....How is that possible?!

the hottest to touch shift knob during summer i've experience was my old is300..that silver ball was hot.

I paid 110$

Tints made a world of difference,
For those with brz limited , monogram how's your leather holding up I'm starting to see wrinkles,

One last question for those on socal who still has crickets mines seem to have died :)

...I'm still waiting for the question...haha I still have mine. What's your mileage? at what point did you notice them go away?

Man just scheduled appointment to swap out my 20% to 5%. Sweltering today!

Live in suburb of Phoenix, and have been procrastinating on getting a tint. But just using a sunshade I haven't had too many problems.. Although the only time it sits outside is at work for 8 hours..

I don't notice that my limited seats are any warmer than any of our other cars, if anything they're cooler than full leather seats.

I don't do anything special other than 20% tint and Covercraft sunshade if I'm parked for any extended amount of time and it gets over 100F where I live.

I got crickets 12 miles driving off the dealer lot, right now I'm at 4800 miles, I randomly choose this 76 gas station I filled up a full tank so far no chirp I'm on my second tank from that same station I burned 25% of the tank so far no chirp I'll update you guys if I hear it chirp again.

Air 80 all the way around made my car much cooler and made the A/C feel more effective. I don't have the leather you have but my flossy knob is way cooler.
