As there are so many options available with these new seats, when ordering, please note in the comment section of the order

4) If you are ordering all Leather/Perforated Leather, or the Leather/Alcantara (Suede) for additional $70
5) If your vehicle is equip with heated seats
If you are unsure of the availability of your color combination, or have any questions, please email us at parts@partstaxi.com
To date, the most popular options have been Ebony/ebony suede, and Ebony/dark titanium suede. Please keep in mind, to get the contrasting color stitching (titanium, yellow, red or blue), you would need to get the suede inserts. If going with the suede inserts, the cross flag logo in the headrest (if you choose that logo) will be monochromatic, not multi color.
For those of you that already have 2012-2013, but want to change your seating surfaces/colors, we can do that as well. Depending on color and material, packages start at $730 for all 6 seat covers, and can go up around $1050. Please contact me directly for assistance or quotes on these packages.
Thanks

If I want to do you just the seat backs, the upper seat portion, and not do the bottom seat portion, can that be done and it match up and look proper?
If so, what would be the price for doing the upper seat portions?

The shade of red on the 2012 seats is brighter on the 2012 seats. IMHO, it wouldn't look right.

I have a 3LZ Z06 with the Ebony and Linen leather wrapped interior. The seats are Ebony with Linen center sections on the seat back and bottom. GM dropped the Ebony and Linen option so the new seats aren't available in that combination. I want to keep the seat bottom and the seat back center section that match my doors, dash and console lid so I have been thinking I would buy the seat foam and skin for the seat back outer section and just install it. Will the old heated seat back center section install the same and fit properly with 2012 seat back outer foam and skin or did they change the shape of the center section when they changed the outer?

If I do just the seatbacks will it look a-ok and close enough using the 2012 1LT seatbacks in ebony on earlier 1LT ebony seats?

The 2012 center section on the back is larger then the previous version. I don't believe you'll be able to to make your existing insert fit properly.

1LT Seat Conversion
The 1LT seats have only two pieces of foam, 1 seat bottom and one upper back rest foam piece. The sport seats have three pieces of foam. 1 outer/back rest piece, 1 middle back rest piece and 1 seat bottom foam.
The 1LT back rest foam is thinner in many areas and less supportive. One other major difference is the 1LT back rest DOES NOT have the plastic foam hooks mounted on the ridged seat back, you will need to order online or dealer.
You may only have the option of ordering sport seat foam that already has the side airbag cutout and my 1LT seats did not have the side airbag. I had to glue in a filler piece of foam to correct that problem.
I also had to order the foam hooks from my local dealer in order to mount the center foam piece. (part number: 19122854) Takes two per seat and they screw in place. The seat back are fortunately marked for mounting the hooks.
I ordered seat bottom foam that is more supportive and have reinforcement in the right areas to prevent foam breakdown. http://www.shop.djmotorsportaccessories.com/
The installation is pretty simple with the right tools and I am so glad to get rid to the vinyl and crappy support. I will put some pics up when I get a chance.
