Weatherstrip options?

Hello, I am currently in the market for a weather-strip kit for my 91 Camaro vert. I have been looking primarily at 1AWSK00315 from 1A auto it runs $810 and 8792CONVWSKIT from Hawks which runs $799. The only differences that I can see from the details are that the 1A auto comes with the upper door trim piece and the 1A auto kit only includes the felt pieces. If any one has had experience with either of these products please let me know, or if you had good success with another vendor also let me know. Thanks

It pops into channels, and you should also glue the ends in place with weatherstrip adhesive.

Not that I need it. But how was it to install, and overall quality/fit?
