Oh seat covers. Gotcha. I was thinking car cover.(?!!) LOL. Yea I got the premium package when I bought mine. Came with heated leather seats. Now I thought "I'll never use the heated part!" But was I wrong talk about use them one time have to have em. Is there any after market kit to heat seats?

You can do this at home on your own. You'll need a set of needle-nose pliers, and you can re-use the hog rings from the cloth seat covers. Make it a weekend project, to make sure you have enough time if its your daily driver. You're going to have to remove the front seats.

Here's a write-up from 40collective.com, the definitive 4.0 mustang site. I recommened y'all sign up over there as well, they're a great group of people and have some incredible 4.0's. :bigthumbsup

Sorry to the mods in advance if i'm not supposed to be advertising other forums on here... I hang my head in shame.

I did it and absolutely love them. I used needle nose pliers to open up the current hog rings. I stuck the needle nose into the inside of the hog rings and then pried them open. The only place I could find hog rings and pliers was at Home Depot. I paid 1.99 for the hog pliers, but the rings were for chain link fences, so they were quite a bit bigger and I wound up re-using the originals.
