Here is couple of pictures. For me, I just took the skins off and put them on the 93 frame/cushion. Then while they were out of the car, I used .40 safety wire to pull, tweak and adjust the skins from underneath the seat. Once in the car you can't see the wire and there are no wrinkles in the leather!!! I believe some have actually had the leather cut and re-sewn. I figured I would give it a shot this way first, and it came out real nice.

I did this with my 89 coupe with 2000 GT seats.

For the back I had to trim some metal off the bracket on the rear part. like this.

Then I insulated the area behind the back seat and then bolted up the bracket to the rear seat frame.

You will have some room on the sides if you are installing it in a coupe that needs to be filled. I was going to take the factory back seat and trim off the side of the foam to have the correct shape and then have it covered in matching material to fill in this gap but I sold the car before doing it.
Like this.

As for the bottom seat cushion. I had to cut out some foam and bend the brackets down to sit the seat down more to the floor. Then got a peice of wood and cut it to fit the front between the floor and the seat covered it in matching carpet and bolted it to the floor and seat to attach the bottom.

Here is the wiring diagram for the front seats again.

It's not really that hard to do. Just some work.
