Those are energy absorbing materials to help with meeting head impact criteria that are established by the federal government. The 2004 Vettes are the only C5 Vettes that had to meet this criteria so this was how GM chose to meet the requirement without a major redesign. The C6 Vette was new in 2005 and the totally redesigned interior did a much better job of integrating the energy absorbers.
