Hi everybody

I'm in the middle of seat stripping and new seat cover instillation, decided to do it myself. I have the black seat covers sold on delorean.com. I noticed i'm going to have to cut a slit for the lever on the sides of the seats, worried about screwing that up. Anyway any advice on the instillation. Do's/don't.

oh and where can I get a copy of the "slip me some skin" article.

Thanks

The bezel around the cut out makes it a little more forgiving. Gave me no trouble.

The tough part IM0 is getting the headrest over the foam and looking nice. I recall part of the trick there is to put a thin plastic bag, like from the produce department, over the foam first to reduce the drag between the leather and the foam.

You can get yer hog rings and hog ring pliers from a farm supply website if you need them - not the kind of thing home depot carries (at least in Los
Angeles).
