The hog pliers and clips are such a pain to find. I am glad you found them.

All the Camry/Solara's have a crease in the middle. You simply cut a small hole for each hod clip in the elements. The elements are cloth like and take shape underneath the leather covers easily.

On the Gen 1 and 1.5 there is a heated seat fuse on the fuse panel. I used a wired fuse; a fuse with a wire sticking out for the power.

I suspect the 2's are similar.

so after a week of working on switching out from cloth to leather on all my seats im finally done. it took me about about 12 hrs total with leather install and putting them back in the car. took 3 hrs to do the whole back and about 3-4 hrs each for the front seats. This was a learning experience and something very difficult to do if i had to rank its probably a 8 out 10.
Tools needed:
Pliers , screw drivers, socket set, gloves(metal is very sharp), heat gun, glue, extras foam, Hog rings and Hog Pliers, and some misc tools.
I ended up adding more foam about half an inch for the driver seat to make it a little more comfortable.-

Final Product:

So in the end im happy with the results, i hate cloth and ever since i got my gen2 i wanted to get leather. Sorry for not posting progress pictures i was just to into getting it on and attaching it
