The price is in Euros, but it is dirt cheap, like under 15 bucks for 2 patches. I guess Europe doesn't know about the corvette tax... muuuhahahaha
To apply them, I just used the tip of the iron for accuracy. Let me know if you have any more questions....
By the way... those consoles from DSvettes look sliiiick
Too bad I don't have the big bucks!!

The best place to ask for this would be the "C6 Parts" section. People sell them all the time. Just post them in there and ask people what they go for. Or you can do a search for z06 seats in the "C6 parts" and you can find what other people are selling them for.
Good luck!!

Blackhawk - just got back from a golf trip, gone a week, and saw your post. GREAT news, eh? I'm going to order right now. Does it look like the edges will hold up without any fraying? I presume that because of their position on the headrest area that they shouldn't get much rubbing/scuffing and will hold up. Maybe I'll order 2 sets so if the 1st ones fray, I can change to new ones before I sell the car!

Yeah, I'm kind kicking myself for not buying more. With those prices.... why not!! Yeah, the edges look like they will definitely hold up. Like you said... if they don't... just buy another set and replace them. They're dirt cheap!! But judging from the quality and position on the seat... they should last a long time!!

I got my patches yesterday and put them on today. Here are some photos. The job was easy I got it in position and taped one edge then put a rag over an ironed it on the one side, removed the tape and ironed that side on. While I was at it I put the rag over the visor and applied the iron for about 10 seconds and pulled the airbag label right off in one piece.

I would imagine that the temp would have to be above 200 degrees to melt the glue that holds them onto the seat. I would think that you would have a better possibility of having someone rip the flags off if ya left the top off in the sun, rather than having the sun bake it off.

Here ya go!! I got them from patchdevil.com They actually come from Thailand The company says you just use an iron, which is what I did. Just gently touch the iron to the patch and hold it there for a few seconds, and the glue on the back of the patch will adhere to your seat. As you can see, I used a piece of duct tape to hole the patch in place while I ironed on one side. I removed the tape and then ironed the other side. The patches are pretty thin, so they don't stick off the seat like you might think. Overall, I think they look really nice. A VERY cheap way to add some color and spice to your interior.
Here is a picture to give you an idea of their size.
