Default Installing a new Cloth inter

How hard is it to replace seat covers, installing a cloth inter? Having never done it, is it something I can do? Ares the kits from 50resto and the like good kits? Do I need to replace the seat cushions?

i dont think its worth it... as for replacing your foam, sit in it and you tell me =) lol. im pretty sure its easy, just take the seat out, pull the old cover off from the bottom, and slide the new one on. if its more complicated im sure someone will tell you otherwise but i don't forsee it beign very complicated. i plan on taking mine off and just dying them black in cloth dye cause they're in good condition anyway.

It sounds/looks easy but I doubt it is... I think I rather have someone who is experneiced do it for me. Im not sure if there are ways to f*ck it up but I gaurantee you there are ways to make it look like sh*t lol

And also,I thought of doing the same thing (but having someone do it for me). I called many shops around me and everyone wanted approx. $600 dollars just in labor work to cover the front seats, rear seats & headliner. Now the kit is like $600 right? Im sure you can find a set of used seats for $1200! If not, go with a set of Corbeau's or something!
