As far as installing the seat covers, I recommend that they be taken to a 
local upholstery shop and installed by a professional. It's true that it can be 
done yourself with the right tools, but if you take the seats out of the car 
yourself (4 nuts, very easy) and take them into the shop, you should be able to 
get it done for less than $100.

That's a little optimistic. I had Grady's seatcovers installed at a local 
shop with decades of interior restoration experience. They installed new 
covers, replaced the crappy foam under them, and sandblasted and painted the rails. 
Cost about $250 to do it and the seats weren't bad to begin with. I just 
wanted them 100% perfect, like i'm sure most of you do also. w/o the painting, 
it would have been $225. 

Just a heads up in case you are pricing this out. maybe you could find 
someone to do JUST the cover with no custom fitting for $100 PER SEAT, but to do 
both, there's a little labor involved.....
