If you don't have time to do it, you should have purchased new seat foam with new seat covers already on it.

Where did you get them?  Can you return them and get the aforementioned package?

You could take them to a professional and have them done. Places that do furniture should be able to handle it. The hog rings suck to deal with !

I don't know where Flemmington, NJ is, but you do have the " Paramedics " there in Mt. Holly, NJ. They claim to be  Vette experts in all the mags. Check it out and let us know.

You don't have to take these to vette guys. Any reputable upolstery shop can handle this job. CHeck your local yellow pages or local body shops.

Hey Jeremy,

    Did my seats myself. Check them out if you're still planning on coming over for the BBQ next week. Come over for a Saturday and we'll knock them out together if you like. I've done quite a few sets over the years and more than happy to help you out.
