I have bought and installed, and helped others install, seat kits from 
Clarks. I like the quality, but they are a bear to install.

The last set I helped install was at the 2006 VA Vair Fair. An impromtu 
tech session broke out, with Richard Durham from the Roanoke club 
helping a lot and giving great tips as he did upholstry work before 
retiring.

Putting them on will give you a great upper body workout!

And a good reason to buy more tools....
