I did not run the sewing machine so I cannot speak on how difficult it actually was (although I know our seamstress spent a considerable amount of time on it). I did really enjoy having the flip as opposed to an additional set though. I guess that will be one of the discussions we have next season, assuming similar bumper rules. If FIRST does go with similar bumper rules for 2011, it may be worthwhile to look into having the flip covers mass produced.
