It's the glue they send us. It's not the greatest stuff. I used a different glue and mine is nice a tight. I used a 3M spray (aerosol) adhesive that was 90 grade (it's written in green block letters on the can) and it HOLDS like a ****. No loose fittin covers.

I did mine initially with the glue they supplied and it had a little less wrinkles in the front seat bottom cushions than yours do. I didn't like it so I used a much stronger adhesive this time around and I have no wrinkles like that. It all fits MUCH more snug and tight. Looks like a factory fit now. I like mine better that way. It's all personal preference.

Cool, I've wanted to do this to my car since day one. I'm going to go with silver though . I've been trying to think of a nice way to use black and silver somehow in the door panel. I always think of the interiors in Baja Speedboats, and how awesome they do it. Some kind of stripe pattern would be the *****

Talking

I got them from dyno pro auto. I had the stickers made. I was going with silver because I thought it would look great with my 30th ann stripes. But I went with the red and black because it fit me alot more and the red carpet is going in next with custom floor mats . Then hopefully this year coming up I can enter the car show in the spring break shootout and run also.
The only thing I have to say if you get one of these kits is take your time especially on the door panels. That was the hardest part. I put three coats of expoy over two days on the tabs that I could not screw down. The door panel in the pic is off right now because I redid it with the expoy. Just to be safe. But all in all it was fun to what the car change when your doing the work This is what moding is all about. Now I need to read jmx's websight for thr 50th time to make sure I can do the cam

I did mine with the supplied stuff, I think it turned out alright. The back seat needs to be redone cause I pretty much just flopped it on there.

But your door panels are easier or not ? Trans am's are not easy at all.I left it out in the sun and the leather git a little tighter.
