well actually, that labor cost included the red suede, but not the bride fabric.
then they have to take your stock seat, completely take it apart, (i wanted black trim on mine as i have a r18) take the fabric off the cushions, dethread the original cover to get a pattern, cut the new fabric to be the same shape, and restich it all together and cover the seat, then put all the black trim peices i provided on there.
there is a diy, but unless your a grandmaster seamstress, i wouldnt attempt it personally lol seems way too easy to screw up
