Funny- I was thinking about this as a "next" mod. Matt from VE e-mailed me last week and said that they can't do it right now because of the wiring. John Caravaggio does; I will call him soon to have him do these for me (I have bought two sets of his seats this year and know that they will be first rate). I think the price was somewhere around $550-$600 so it obviously is not a cheap thing to do (in other words, you have to really hate the fuzzy cloth stock ones)!!!

Here are mine (in leather).
I had Vette Essentials send me additional leather (matching the seat colors).
Took the sun visors off and had a local shop remove the OEM material, and install the VE leather.
Then, I found a local guy that does interior dye for vehicles. He came to the house and taped off the edges - then dyed the edges with the highlight colors.
Total cost: less than $100/Vette
Hope this helps.
EDIT:
As a note - I have the Home Link in each Vette (on the visor).
If you do not have this option already, get it done BEFORE the change over to leather.

I do hope they are wearing a mask when they take customers money for these
