No trick really. You just need to work the covers until they are the way you want them. I had steam available but did not use it. The pic posted is right after I finished the first seat.

I did mine using a combination of the video and some directions available on this site. It was a lot of work but no doubt doable.

I did the same design for my seats. That's Alcantara inserts, right? I've said it before, you just can't beat the price.

Yes it's the Alcantara and the material has a great feel to it. No disappointments here!

Completely agree! I did the all blk leather with the dark grey alcantara inserts and titanium stitch.

Tim,

It really would not be a bad idea for you to go back to your original post and change the wording. You really flamed them, and now you seem to be pretty much satisfied. Comments like yours can be accessed by anyone who types in the company name, and they won't read through to see that you wound up getting what you ordered.

Just a thought...

Loved them in my Old GS and my Current Z06. Can't beat them for the price. Pictures were taking right after install was complete.
The wrinkles all relaxed out after some time in the sun. I spent a little more time to get wrinkles out from the start on my current z06.
