Default Heated seats 2015

Hello, I have a 2015 is250 base which means it doesn’t come with heated seats or the ventilated seats. I’m looking into installing both heated and ventilated. The ventilation from what i’ve read seems just bolt, plug and play, unless someone knows otherwise. for the heated seats i’ve read that lexus attaches the heating element to the cushion, so i would have to buy new cushions which are like $200 each if i wanted oem. or i was thinking about buying an aftermarket heating element and just splicing into where the oem element would plug into. any thoughts that would help?

Does your Nuluxe material have little holes in it? If I remember correctly, at least on the older models, if you don't have heated/ ventilated seats from the factory the seats themselves were different. You should be able to add the heated part regardless, but without buying a whole new seat, you might not be able to add the ventilated part.
