I am planning at first to just have them in the back. Can an amateur install them?

 

What seat covers are you planning on?

 

Mugen? Damn, those are baller.

 

I am planning on installing the coverking ones, probably cordura or cotton because of the dogs.

 

I have the Mugen ones myself, and i have to admit that the install was time consuming, but do-able by an amateur. You just have to be really careful. The mugen seat covers have fitment issues with putting the seat belt housings in but oter than that, not so hard. My advice just take your time and be ready to have cramped fingers after the install
