i bought a set and just installed them. They fit better than the originals. Installs just like the factory one too with hog rings. They fit so well and where easy to install. I cut the old covers off and removed the old hog rings. Slipped the new covers on and hog ring them on. The kit I got cost 319 and came with everything I needed to do the job.

half an hour for each back and about an hour for each front. The front take a little longer cause you have to sepaerate the 2 pieces and remove the latch. It really is simple

My dad put seat covers on the front seats in my Camaro when he had the car..... the front seats have a few tears in them so the covers hide those. My seats are actually gray/charcoal so the covers match pretty good with the rear seats!! They are just the ones that go over the original cover though.....
