I've been in the same spot and yes, you can definately do it yourself. You have a few choices.

1. Creative Options (Kevin) www.seatkit.com - Super high quality skins that fit over the existing seat interior.

2. Leatherseats.com - Similar setup with replacement skins, I found them to be a little more expensive.

3. Junkyard diving

It's not that big of a job and there are a few how-tos on the forum. You'll need the skins, some hog ring pliers, standard sockets and a couple of screwdrivers.

If you can dig up a seat of seats at the junkyard that aren't ripped or torn (or if yours is not ripped or torn) you can also try leatherique. There are a few how-tos on the website as well as via google that explain the process. IF you have leather this is your cheapest option.

Otherwise, try searching the forums and ebay to see what pops up for sale. There is always a deal.
