Default Question for all who changed their Seat Leather

Hey Everyone,

I know a lot of you guys got new leather covers and I was wondering how hard was it so swap out the leather on the front seats? Was it a DIY? or does it need to be done by a professional? IF it can be done at home, are there any special tools required?

Thanks in Advance!

Tan suede, the tan looks a bit off compared to the tan leather, pretty hard to color match leather to suede.
