How hard is it to mess with the upholstery?

Basically, can you pop the seat cover off without undoing a seam, and put it back on?
I want to put a lumbar pad in because the seat back is too flat and its bugging my back, and don't feel like paying for it unless I have to. All I need to do is get the seat back cover undone, and slide it up... How is it attached? Staples, clips or something else replacable? And can you just slide it up the seat like a shirt?

Kloverz has a little shameless behaviour in the past
I personaly install my on Leather on all of my seats, so its not hard.
Really its more like staples, you can replace, but all you need to do is use a vise grip to take it of and tighten it back.

I remember driving a Celcia once. I remember it has a really nice driving position. The pedals were in a good place, the seat felt nice, and you didn't have to reach very far for the shifter. So from what I remember, the seats were pretty good.

Where did you get them? Were they hard to install?
