I used a heat gun. If you choose to do your own, make sure to get the right material and don't overheat the vinyl. Plus the staples you'll need are 1/4 inch. The 1/2 inch staples are too long. Last, but not least, the hardest part of the job is the stretching and finishing of the vinyl. You have to keep working it. It's a few hours job I think to get it right, but I only did it once and maybe someone who really knows what they're doing can do it faster.
So the tradeoff is time and save money or just pay someone $35.00 to do it.
