Burn Hole In Drivers Seat!

I have recently purchased a used vehicle with velour bucket seats.

There is a burn hole in the driver's seat that is getting worse. I plugged it up tonight using a fabric repair kit. Hopefully, this will slow down the inevitable deterioration of the seat upholstery.

The good news is I have new replacement upholstery for the bucket seats that match my vehicle exactly. I am thinking about bringing this into an Auto Upholstery Shop.

Should I try and replace the seat upholstery myself or should I have a professional do the work? What are the typical costs to replace one seat cover on a velour bucket seat?

I realize I need to get some hog rings and possibly some type of stapling tool to do this job.

Thanks for any advice

If you want to give it a try, then do it up. A stapler would be good for redoing seats. Just make sure you know what the hell you're doing before you fuck it up.
