Default Clarification on two-tone seats

To me, it looks like some wires have gotten crossed somewhere. Pic from the corvette brochure and the build your own website, show a different configuration of the new two tone seat option vs one sitting on the dealers lot. Am I missing something here?











Photo from Corvette brochure.





On dealership lot





From build your own site.

The middle pic is exactly how it will appear. I know, I went through this exact same confusing issue.

<p>The first and third are just renderings. The second is a photo. So, the renderings are wrong.</p>

I ordered two-tone Gray and would prefer the look in the renderings, but it will not be. Thanks for posting the pics and renderings.

I want the 2tone gray as well. There are TWO versions I believe.

If you request the sueded inserts, you'll have what looks the renderings above but with a full gray seat and black centers...(where the red is in the above photos).

If you DO NOT get the sueded inserts, then it'll look like the photo with the plastic over the seat...imagine the red being gray. The black is the same.

The 2-tone seat with the red headrest is the actual production version.

"Specifications subject to change without notice."

I suspect you'll find that verbiage on both the brochure and the build-your-own site.

I want two tone!!! Had it done in my c6 as soon as I picked her up, before GM was doing it. Would love to have it in my c7 but of course it wasn't available on 2014.

For the c6, a forum member was buying black skins and red skins, taking apart and putting back together as two tone.

I believe the two tone competition seats are the exact opposite.

Competition seats ARE NOT available in two tone in 2016 but I bet they eventually will be.

Ah, that explains it I guess. I probably just seen "renderings" of them. I might be just doing aftermarket two tone competition seats later...

I prefer the look of the suede 2 tone, which is a good thing since that is what I ordered!
