I would like to install my own leather seats…I’ve found a site that sells a good quality set, and the savings by doing it myself are considerable (about $600). One thing that has me stumped (I have a 2001 Saturn L100)-I can’t see how you remove the bucket seats?  
Anyone ever done this?  
And gluing on the dood inserts doesn’t look like a lot of fun-is this hard to do?

IMHO I would go with the pro install. There’s a lot of “tricks of the trade” involved.
