All of these posts have reminded me what that empty passenger seat was put there for.

Could explain why I have been pre-occupied with deciding on a VetteEssentials seat cover set (as I see more of it than most apparently).

Tough decision, but I guess I will stay with my VetteEssentials plan - cheaper in the long run (and when they wear out they can be replaced easier).

If you are going dark you may consider competition gray. It sets the darker tone but still sets off the wheels just a little.

From any distance you wont get the pop you get with chrome. I vote stick with the chrome - it adds a nice bit of bling.
