I wouldn't recommend sewing your own seats. but if you do be sure to post some pics. If you do choose to make your own PM me I can give you some pointers.

i wouldn't either. i actually took mine and had the side pieces professionally sewn in and even the pro's didn't get them 100% perfect. you can kind of see the pieces are a little closer to the seems on the drivers seat than the pass seat and thus don't quite line up down by the plastic that covers the screw holes (i mean the accordian pieces)

I did the back seats myself including all of the hogringing of the lower sections, but i had the shop assemble the front seats because when i got the upholstery back installed on the seats none of the holes lined up and i didn't want to damage the seats trying to get everything together. I did disassemble the seats and remove the upholstery myself though. there are hogrings that hold the cover on the top of the front seats and the bottom of the rear seats but the upper rear seat simply slips off after you unclip it (although i did have to hog ring it back on because the new upholstery came with no clips, only plastic tubes with faboric around them which are meant for hogrings)

the lower front seats are just clipped/velcroed on and the upper front seats have hog rings in the horseshoe shaped area around the insert (if you look at your front seat the 2 verticle inserts on each side and the horizontal one above them are where the hog rings are. it kind of looks like a horse shoe or upside down u if your looking at it from the front)

I used a leather kit from autoleathers.com (they are a katzkin reseller). Many, many pattern & color combos. I think you have to call for the f-body fitments anymore - they don't seem to list them on the website.

We installed it ourselves (minus the door panels). It was tough, but do-able. Turned out we could have done the door panels ourselves too. *shrug*
