Default sport seat question...

New to me silver 2004 C5 purchased a week ago (1SB, totally stock, 64000 miles), drivers side seat has a small hole in the usual place. In my haste to replace the outer surround on the sport seat, I bought a passenger seat surround off of e**y thinking they were interchangeable. Upon closer inspection, they are not How bad would it be/look to have the soft non leather portion that is normally on the inside of the seat exposed on the drivers side. The surround I purchased is in excellent shape.

Pictures of the new Vette will be forthcoming once I have a chance to do an initial cleaning. Sold a C6 back in Feb and couldn't shake the itch so I'm back with a C5 (also had a C4 previously)

While I'm at it...any members in the Buffalo area? I need these:

and he won't ship. I'm going to to try him one more time...if he still won't ship, I'd pay him and then pay a member to pick them up and ship them if I can find someone willing.

Thanks and It's good to be back
Mike

Having that piece to the outside would not be a look I would want, unless you could get both seats to look the same. I'm just picky that way.

Some have had the section replaced by an upholstery shop.

I agree with Jack, would make me nuts.

I wouldn't put something on there that didn't match. Like someone stated above, take it to a local upholstery shop.
