That is the solution to most of my problems.

Thanks Justin... I'm about half way complete refreshing my driver's seat in the ///M. Now I know why people would rather buy new seats instead of refreshing them. When the time comes, I'm getting myself a set of BMW Performance seats.

Those damned hog rings are a major PITA!

Hog ring pliers makes it easier but not by much.

Derek, I got hog ring pliers but unfortunately, they were not the right size...Home Depot didn't have smaller ones. I ended up using pliers/needle nose pliers to do the job. Right now my fingers as well as my back are sore. I'm guessing I will get back to the seats in a few days once my back recovers.....right now I will be taking pain pills and then hooking up in the jacuzzi tomorrow morning.

Woah, those look awesome. I bet they are fingerprint magnets, though.

There is no reason for anybody to be touching the carbon fiber parts, so this is a moot point. There's a door handle for a reason.

Derek,
Now that you have a PRIUS as a daily driver, you have no excuses for keeping the ZHP and not getting an M3. *HINT HINT*

Except extra cash to dump on and finding a alpine white 2006 zcp to replace it. Not to mention all the work I did to the zhp means I need to do it all over to the M3 again.

After playing around with those damned hog rings all day I've decided in a few weeks I will be placing an order for a set of BMW Performance seats....I'm done killing myself swapping seat covers.....no wonder people will simply either put up with degrading seats or just pay money to have them replaced...

Anyway, I will be sleeping in tomorrow and after breakfast I'm heading off to the jacuzzi for much needed therapy after starting today's project...

Now you understand my pain and why it took me 3 days

Both of you, take your Geritol and stop whining like two old men born before Neil Armstrong walked on the moon. Ouch!

Right there with you, I just don't admit the aches & pains.

Come on guys, JK, JK.

Now which one of you is Walter Mathieu from Grumpy Old Men?
