Look on the Vette Essentials web site. They have some excellent instructions on how to install seat covers. Lots of forum members have done it themselves and report it is not that hard if you are patient. I had mine done at a local upholstery shop. Installation cost $100.

also, if i may make a suggestion, try leatherseats.com (at least i think thats the site) and some other areas. the GM ones may be more pricey than these and these from what people are saying are very nice and in some ways better than GM ones. think of it this way, you're replacing yours for some reason right? why not improve on them so u dont have to again. if u want to stick w/GM covers try the parts section cause many people remove these "inferior" seat covers shortly after taking delivery to install ken king's seat covers, etc. these can be purchased for a fraction of what u would pay for new. just a suggestion. of course if your hell bent on buying from tehm go ahead haha
