Seat Covers
Well, I had the unfortunate luck of finding my camaro that I wanted -- only thing is it had white leather seats. It's a 98 so you can imagine they weren't in good condition. 1) i hate white leather 2) they were in bad shape and beyond repair.
Anyway, I don't have enough money to get it redone in new black leather, so my only real option is to use seat covers. I found some nice tasteful ones that are black and fit pretty well, only bad part is they slide around and due to the shape of the seat sometimes slide off the front when I sit in the car.
Is there a good way I can get them to stick to the seat? I was thinking maybe spray adhesive or 3m tape, but I really have no idea where to start.
Any ideas/opinions are welcome!

Since you were already thinking of adhesive....
The only thing I can think of is "carpet tape" (instead of a glue).
Its paper-thin double-sided tape (as opposed to the typical foam-core stuff).
You can get it at Home Depot. I found some in the painting supplies isle mixed in with the masking tape and tarps.
It's fairly strong, only a few dollars for a roll, and you dont have to worry about glue soaking through the seat cover fabric.
