Jesse: Did you think about doing it yourself? THere are soem excellent - detailed install instructions on the Vette Essentials website. Take a look there. Not sure what upholsters are getting on a per hour basis, but I would think about 4 hrs per seat is about right....... 
PS: Sun Visor being mailed out today. Are you up by Northville by any chance? I spent 4 months up there on a project last year and agree with your "Mayberry" assessment......

When I bought my Vette Essentials covers, I had a local upholstery shop install them. Cost me $100 for both seats and took the guy about 2.5 hours to do the job. What you are being quoted is way, way too high for a seat cover install.
