Leather Seats Install for MR2...advice needed

[djdrock]

Since the MR2 forum has been non-responsive, I thought that I would ask if any of you had any advice on installing leather for my 93 MR2. I ordered new skins from leatherseats.com. While they have some generic information regarding the install, I was wondering if anyone had any advice. It is a hog-ring application.

Thanks in advance!

I am considering this option for my wife's 350Z. That car has the most uncomfortable seats I have ever sat in. I was thinking of getting new leather and have an upholstery shop add some memory foam in there to improve the cushions.

Acoording to DocL on this thread he doesn't recommend a DIY.

Thanks for the credit. I would only suggest someone to do this themself if they don't have a wife/gf/dog in the house. The amount of cursing and yelling at myself, if heard by someone else, surely would have had me taken away by the Baker Act.

One more thing. Lock up your guns if you have any.

I found someone on CL who does upholstery to install a pair of new covers I order online for my MR2. He charged $60 and he did it in about 2 hours. He made it look easy, but I imagine it would be a lot harder working with the hog rings.
