t tops was a lot of work, but not that hard at all (i will have a manual soon hopfully it will help you guys)
hey im 17 years old if i can do it anyone can

the embrodiary on my seats are actually stickers, but they bond to the leather so they look like part of the seat
because it is very hard to stitch w/o a removale headrest

Very nice work! You are going to love them!

The "sticker" caught my eye too. Did you use a certain kind of sticker, or just any old one? Doesn't it move when you get in and out of the car?

Keep up the great work!

ahh the stickers, i bought them from autozone i belive they are made for the exterior, i used a hairdryer and got them VERY hot and applied them to the seat, make sure its on straight because once you put it on its not comming off
i would not recomend it for cloth seats it would prob ruin them
when the corners start to lift up a little i just apply some adhesive w/ a toothpick about once every other month, everyone asks me if they came factory... try them out

would you belive im still fiberglassing/bondoing this stuff takes forever to harden in the cold! should be done today ill have the finished pics up in 2 days

Nice work. I agree, pretty easy to do if you take your time. I'm 18 and I havn't done jack for body work prior to t-tops. Mine turned out very nice. If you need a couple different pics, check out the link in my sig. I used bondo instead of fiberglass.
