Maybe you could go with a neutral color leather and a blue stitching?
Also, I love your wheels, but I don’t recognize them?

Yes if you could just leave them outside in the sun (bring them in if it rains and at night) for couple of days then that will do the trick.

If you want we can send you samples of the blues that we offer so you can compare them to your car in person to see how you think they compare. https://ridies.com/samples

Please understand I’m trying to help. Was I correct stating that you have more color flexibility with stitching?

Yes for stitching we have 100+ colors. If there is a color that you want, just send us the picture we will be able to match it pretty close. We only mention few colors for stitching on our website because otherwise people get confused, but we can do 100+

Thanks

Yes we do. Please look at this link https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...post1597093142

If you click on the dropdown for leather stitching colors then you will see that one of the options is light oak.

Thanks

Yay! My new covers and foam arrived. I threw them in the car to see about the colors.

For those with light grey interiors, you make the judgment here as to how well it matches the covers.

These are light grey with "dark" grey inserts and it seems the darker grey almost matches better.

You decide.

I'm looking forward to getting them on. The quality so far seems far superior to stock

I just had my seat covers installed. Light Gray but with black stitching and Corvette logos. I also bought the console cover to match. I have standard seats vs. sport. My car is painted Sebring Silver and is a '98... I think the match is right on...

Yes we do have shale, but if you want to be 100% sure then give us your name and address and we will send you samples. https://ridies.com/samples

You mean black stripe around the covers? Just call us at 317-596-5962

These are mine I installed about a month ago. And yes the wrinkles come out with a blow dryer and now that they have been in the sun a few times they tightened right up. The real leather is the way to go and is far superior to OEM.
