Leather seems to be a bit more pliable than vinyl. It is actually very
easy with the kits. Just do one at a time, so if you cannot remember how
it goes together you have a reference. Keep all old hardware until done,
you may need it. I did both seats in my TR8 in about 3 hours. I even got
my wife to help(I bet that must be some sort of record, huh?). It is
really not too hard. Do it on carpet and not concrete, it scuffs the
material. I learned that first hand.
Good luck
