But the two tone seats are a definite WTF were they thinking.
New seats, new steering wheel, padding on the console cover, new tweeters on the dash at the A pillar. From CorvetteBlogger. This is the 4LT interior with color matched stiching. |

The seats look like something from the 80's.

Technically, they are just a redesign of the existing seats - new foam and covers. My understanding is they can retrofit to a 2006-2011 as well. Changing the frames would have resulted in new crash testing a bunch of paperwork, and since rumors say the C7 hits in two years, the General didn't want to spend the money on the C6. |

I'm not a fan of the two tone seats or the color-matched stitching. Looks "ricer" to me.

I guess. Just with the side air bag and all the frikken electrical connectors-A direct replacement is always a plus. Once the foam inserts come out-I might be able to get a local upholsterer to redo my seats.

I've been looking at putting the two tone covers in my 08 and I think the current style covers run about $600-750. Now I'm gonna wait until the foams and covers package for these comes out and see what it will run. |
