    is it possible for someone to do this themselves and make it look great if they have never done anything like this before?

    I will personally walk anyone through it if they bought a kit. U will need hog ring tool medium hog rings approx 150 of them both can be bought at true value hardware. Aprox $15 for both kit will cost 400-600 bingo bam you r stylin'. Labor time allow hour each front seat 15 minutes each head rest. Back seats are super easy. 2 hours total time on them. Psssss the secret to install tight leather soak leather covers on warm to hot water approx 15 minutes before install. Won't hurt leather at all installs easier the rear doesn't need to be done that way.

    So my main question is that you have to take off the existing cloth and install the leather or you just put it over it????

    Yes my friend you guessed well.


    I do enjoy it. Here in Florida it is hot . I'd say if yours feels real hot even though Texas u better hope that you weren't cheated by the maker of the seats. If they are hot sticky. U have vinyl. Alot manufactures cheat and make one seat leather and the rest vinyl. Good brands are all leather with very little vinyl in back of the seats
