Leatherseats.com installation, DIY or Professional Installation

Just wondering if those who bought leather interior from leatherseats.com installed it themselves or got it done professionally. If you did it yourself, how long did it take? Professional, how much did it cost.

me and my brother did it ourselves. The best way to do this is by Getting Wire ties (dont use the metal hogs they have). Use a Red marker to mark all the holes that you need to put the wire tie back into. The Job was easy, You will need 2 people to make sure they are holding each side and pushing it down so you get a tight hold. Use a thing fine tip blade to make the cuts into the leather, Dont go to crazy or else you will strech the hole. The back seat its self has like 60 somewhat clips for you to do. The best thing about wire ties is that u can clip them in other spots as well. took 2 days and its been on the car for about 7 months or so. No signs of it gettin loose or ripping. Note that using the hogs they give you, the leather wont be on as tight as the wire ties. Plus good luck squeezing those hogs with the tool they give you. lol Buy 3 big bags of wire ties not to thick and not to thin just right enough to hold it strong and not to be seen.
