Buy the prebent ones from AMES, they are the ones that first manufactured it. I was on tour there, and Steve showed us his new product. That was maybe 15 or 20 years ago! I wouldn't be surprised if they sell them to other companies like TPP. Shipping sucks but they are GREAT!

Installation of the piping is not hard at all. Slides right in the groove. I would not install it with the plastics on the seat stil as it would grab on the upholstery. Remove the plastics and then install it. The piping from Ames is the best. Exact same size and finish as OEM. The stuff from others is a bit bigger in size and is not the same sheen as OEM.

AMES is about 10 miles from my house, at the base of Mt Monadnock in Southern NH. They sell mostly Pontiac parts, I had a lot of GTOS before. You definitely need one of their catalogs, they will send you one with your order if you ask. Steve, the man who started it had always been developing new parts. Many of those parts will fit your car. And...the catalogs used to describe the quality of the parts. So if it was a seatback release, he would say smaller than original, plastic not metal like original, etc. Then if it bugged him he'd manufacture a better part. He, Fusick, TPP, these guys were all knew each other well and would buy each others unique products in the old days. Unfortunately, Steve passed away a while ago.
