Seat decals
My iron on C6 Flag patches came in and I want to iron them on the seats.
Has anyone done this (I think I read where someone did that is how I got the idea but can't find the link) that can tell me:
Where to locate - how high/low, etc,
How to iron on without burning the leather seats
How hot to put the iron on
etc etc.

Having a pro remove the seat skins and sew them on can cost a couple hundred dollars!
If you want to spend hundreds of dollars for decals you can buy new skins from Gene @ GMpartshouse... I found a vendor that sells/ makes covers to order and was quoted $679.00 plus shipping... I tried them( bought them from some company in Taiwan). I couldn't get any tape to stick to my seat long enough to hold them in place while I tried to iron them on. I just got frustrated and afraid of damaging my seats and gave them away. Some guy did post that he was able to glue his on... I can't remember what adhesive he used?
