stay away from doing the seats yourself... especially if they are from scratch... unless you have experience doing seats...

i used to work as a mechanic in the body shop at a local Honda dealership, and when a car came in with the seat airbags blown, we had to replace the seat cover (cloth or leather covering on the cushions) and even with them already made for the seats, it was a pain changing them... especially on sporty-type seats...

i'm a huge DIYer... but there are certain things that i (with experience) will just flat out pay for and interior upholstery is one of those for sure things lol...
