That's one hell of a write up. When I did my leather seat swap, I did it without removing my seats. They easily strip all the way down in place. You will definitely need a hog ring set and pliers. But the only thing holding the covers in place is velcro, about 6-9 rings per cover, and big plastic clips. For example, the front bottom cushion has plastic clips that u can pop off, and then roll the cover back some. Snip the hog rings, and the cover will come all the way off ! Do the reverse to reinstall. I figured my covers out just by diving right in, I think you guys will too

I've done a few cheap mod's on the SE this week. Front window's 25% tint 50 buck's, A must for me 5 years a welder was hard on my eye's.
Vortex aero mud flap's 40 buck's a set priceless could'nt stand a bunch of rock chip's before she had 500 mile's.
Door handel an bezel cover all 5 for 25 buck's well worth it to cover that ugly cheap lookin plastic.
Next that ugly black grill, ordered the red ford letter's for 25 buck's.
Not stirrin the pot but i dont like the flat black look, just look's cheap an boring to me.

Just completed the modification to increase the cooling on the air conditioning by wrapping the pipe. Here are some pics. It made a difference 3 to 5 degrees and less cycling of the air-conditioner. this is for my 2013 super crew 4 x 4 lariat.

Default Back up lights

Just got this 2014 FX4 and love it. Also I like clear and bright lighting and the back up cam at night was in need of a lighting "boost". $19 driving lights, $8 relay, $15 wiring and fuse, soldered it all. (And I like the look).

Where did you get power to these? Why the need for relay and fuse? I have something similar. I tapped into the trailer reverse light power. No relays or fuses. I'm not at all saying you did it wrong. I am looking for ways I could have done mine better maybe.

I built an induction tube today. Cost was free just used some xtra couplers and tubing I had laying around. But it could easily be built if you shop smart on ebay.
