I figured I would start a new thread regarding the process.
I personally found the black stock leather interior kind of boring, industrial looking vinyl like appearance and I wanted to add some pop of color to the inside with red leather.

I removed my stock seats tonight so I can drop them off for the red leather to be installed.
Super easy to remove (4 - T50 bolts and a clip harness). And nice to vacuum beneath them.
