Installing seat covers
My seats and covers finally came in, BUT, they are separate. They were supposed to come covered but didn't. How many people have covered their own, and how was it? I might have to track down a shop to do it. They are vinyl 
from corvette america. I know, I know, they should be leather, but I have a lot of other things to do to the car too and they were cheaper for now. I wasn't sure how the vette bug would bite me, but I will get leathers in the future. They'll look good for a while and I'll be happy enough, and then I'll change them again someday. I thought of doing it myself to begin with any way, but then thought it might be better to just have them done. Just wondering what I'm faced with. They're sport seats too, that should just add to the fun, no?

I'm a lot farther than Mission. That's just where I got the car, then I took it to the interior (of the province, now I'm working on the one in the car).
I would kind of like to do it myself just for the satisfaction of doing my car myself, but my time is easily consumed - I don't have much of it. I think I'll track down a seat guy to do it. When I first got the car I called the president of a corvette club somewhat nearby and spoke with his wife. She was a lot of help and turned me onto places like ecklers and corvette central. I think I'll call him, or her, again and see who they recommend.
Thanks for the help though.
