Vinyl Seat Upolstry. Quality? Easy to install? Pics!?

I am considering Buying the basic vinyl seat upolstry kit from LMC.
They have a cover for $149.00, comes in a wide choice of colors. Any complaints or happiness over the quaility? Is it as easy to install as they say it is? Any pics of how it looks in your truck..
Thank You!!

Go for it man! its pretty simple. get hog rings from a hardware store. i went to home depot and they didnt have them so i went too a place called ace.( dont know if you have them in florida) center the vinyl the best you can and start from the center top and bottom and work your way out



like this ...32123... top
...32123... bottom

Goodluck!

LMC has the hog ring and special plyers for $6. Order it along with the seat cover.

Have you checked out truckseats on here. He sells factory matching covers in whatever color you need. Installation isnt too difficult, hog rings and a little sunlight to help warm up the vinyl and make the install easier.

As far as LMC stuff. I usually stay away from them. I find a large majority of their stuff is junk.

If your the foam on your seat is bad I would just take it in and have it repaired, they would be able to either make a cover or install one for you.
