Welcome to the forum. I've been a member on the C-3 forum for some time now but, now with the recent purchase of a beautiful 01 magnetic red convertible, I'll be right here from now on. I still have the C-3 but, the C-5 is by far a lot more fun. And the best part is, my wife actually likes this one. In fact, she found it for me. Good luck with your new toy.

Thanks everyone,
I went to get a price on getting my seat bolster vinyl piece replaced at an auto upholstery shop today. Mine is worn but not torn, anyway he quoted me $100 to replace it. That sounded pretty reasonable to me. I told him in January I will remove the seat and take it to him. Does that fall in line with prices others have heard of for the repair? I have the sport seats if that should make a difference. He knew about the fiberglass piece that could also break.
He is a "seasoned" shop owner and told me of many other (insert your choice of explicatives) Corvette seats he has repaired then proceeded to tell me old horror stories for the next hour. Very entertaining. He also comes highly recommended which means a lot to me.
