I'd never pay anyone to install these, it was a breeze. Maybe T/A's are harder.

I don't like the look of racing seats and then the back seats wouldn't match.

Try Roadwire. I used alot of there kits and depending on the car Roadwire is better than Katzkins and sometimes Katzkinz is better than Roadwire. I never have done any kits on the F-bodys but the mustangs look really nice.

T/A's are harder. the top is a bitch because not only do you have to sew the side pieces in, but then you have to line everything up, which was the problem. once i got the seats back unassembled with the leather on them, i couldn't get any of the holes for the screws for the side pieces to line up with the back piece that only goes on one way.

you can see how far off they were on the previous page, but the guy did get them together. here's a few pics.
