Sam-
I have no experience with this, specifically, but I think it's safe to say with a little extra material and a sewing machine, I could easily convert it. I might try it out because the staples are a bitch. I keep getting tears in my seat cover where it wraps over the lip of the seat frame though. I might make that my weekend project.

i have done it with an 04-05 fusion cover. It works perfectly. Unless you really want the koxx cover in that case get the sewing kits out :P

I have a KH on CF already. I would like to get some use out of my leapord print cover.
Mike,
do you know where to get kevlar? Or are you just gonna use leather or canvas or something? Also will you be adding the elastic on the front and back? Let me know how it turns out. I am not much of a sewer so my base cover and foam have been sitting at a friends house not being finished do to lack of meterial.

my dad took it in to get sewn a month or two ago because we took my seat cover off and it was all glued so he said that hed take it in and we could do wat we did to it..the material from wat i understand is wat is used on soft tops..im not sure but thats wat my dad and little brother said the guy who sewed it said..
all i did was cut the wholes were i wanted the string to come out at..it holds up perfect for me and i like it..
