Hey REDZ, think you could post a quick DIY on how to remove the stock skins? I've gotten the seat bottoms off no problem, but the tops I can't figure out.

Fronts are actually easy once you figure it out. LOL
Undo the 4 to 6 hog rings on the bottom of the seat.
You'll see 2 shiny metal clips at the bottom with white cords on them. Disconnect the clips.
On the back of the seat, the panel snaps out. To do it, get your WHOLE finger under the lip of it, and get your other fingers under there. Pull on it nice and hard and the bottom will come loose. Then you can pry the top loose once you have it opened up some. From here, just peel the seat cover upwards and remove the hog rings on the inside. Stretch it carefully around the headrest posts.
That's it.
Remind me and I'll do a full DIY this weekend, I've got all the pics.

Just be really careful, and do one corner at a time. Also, a small rope or strap to compress the foam width wise helps.
