Default Recovering factory seat

anyone have any write ups or how to's on recovering the factory seats?

My driver front bottom has a couple worn spots in it and it needs to be recovered.

I've found were I could buy the factory cover, just wondering how hard/annoying it is, or if I should take it somewhere.

It looks easier than it is. Everything is very tight.

You can buy the new clips as a pack from Honda too.

This is just how to replace the fronts. Rears should be pretty similar, but I didn't feel like making them images.

What do you mean by "special order"? It's likely most dealerships won't keep them or have them in stock.

The stretching and hog rings are probably the worst part. Those rings are a PITA.
