A couple of years ago I was able to purchase a new set of OEM leather seat covers for a Civic. Coming from a dealership that was closing down, it was a bargain as it was cheaper than add-on covers. All I have to do was tear up the old cloth covers and put the new leather in. It should be an easy job even for a first-timer like me.

I was wrong.

And because you're also going to do the tailoring yourself, I'm wishing you the best of luck ... you're going to need it.
