    It is not hard to install the upholstery at all. The easiest parts are the side bolsters. The centers are a little more difficult but still not hard by any means. The headrests can be challenging to get inside the covers without ripping them.

    I have come to the conclusion that the best bet would be for me to make an instructional video for the people who aren't comfortable with the install.

    I will add that my passenger seat is the first sport seat cover I have ever installed.

      Good to know. I'm deploying for 6 months in October, but I might pull the trigger on a set while I'm downrange to install when I return. Can't wait to see some reviews!

                            I don't believe he is able to make any more kits. My deposit was refunded. There were a few that got out but I think he got completely overwhelmed.

                              It wasn't that i got overwhelmed. I had a few issues with things here and there but nothing major. The reason for the refunds was mostly some family issues that I need a few weeks break to take care of.

                                The reason I was given for my refund was that the fabric did not have enough stretch and he couldn't get the results to meet his standards. I respect this a lot but when I asked about looking at other fabric options I was told he needed to finish up "some more lucrative jobs".

                                I wasn't going to say anything cause s&@t happens and life goes on but now that I see I'm not the only one who got a refund I figured I'd share. YEMV
