I currently have C6 seats with the 12-13 foam and leather conversion along with some other red bits. These photos were taken quite a while ago in 2014 when they were installed:

These photos are also BS (Before Steering Wheel)

Cosmetic only as I wanted to fill in the gap between the seats and the tonneau cover. Purchased from West Coast Corvettes back in 2005. Self tap screws installation and custom trim rings to cover the carpet cuts. Still look new 13 years later so the chrome quality is excellent.

At the time, Vette Essentials also offered custom, leather-wrapped seat hoops, however they stopped producing them by the time I ordered my leather upgrades from them.
