hey guys, is there any threads on installing a seat cover? i am going to order me a quadtech seat cover, mine has a tiny tear in it and would really like a all black seat cover. I do have a nice staple gun just need to get the right staples for the job and all. just wondering if its hard? thanks

i bought a new quad tech seat cover about amonth ago. Got the old cover off no problem, staples and all. Took the new cover out of the bag, wrapped it around the seat and said f*** this! called upholstery shop. it was $80 but 100% worth it. It came out perfect, very smooth and no extra holes in the seat cover. They used the best staples available and had it back to me in a day. If your worried about putting it on, consider buying a complete seat from quad tech for about $300. instead of the $135cover+$80install = $215

My upholstery guy charged me $50 and put the cover over my oem cover. Nice tight fit and if it ever wears out I guess I still have my stock one on I can run until I get another one.
