It definately takes two people to do the install. Lots of tugging and pulling. It doen not come with instructions. The headrests are just covers. You pull the leather right over the headrests. As for the seats, you need to remove them from the car completely.

Then you have to remove the cloth on both seats (back and seat). There are many clips you have to pull out that hold the cloth.

I started with the driver's seat. Did the bottom first. Make sure you order the installation kit (YOU WILL NEED IT!!!). You have to crimp it together just like you pulled it off. It startes out slow but then goes faster once you get the first few in.

It works with airbags, I have them in mine. Just specify it when you order. A good write up can be found on this website:
http://www.**********.com/forums/portal.php?pg=FP001

It took me and a friend roughly 5 hours, but the result is wrth it. We did stop and eat inbetween seats though.

Man those seats look wild. You got any pictures under the hood, I'd like to see what the stainless bolt kits looks like.

Thanks, Dave

They were $500 and change shipped withthe install kit. They had some special through www.**********.com and I jumped on it when I saw it. I believe they usually run around $600.
