Really like the diamond pattern, but I'd probably go without the "S". That would be too much pressure to live up to.

I do not really care for the Superman logo, but it's not my car. Otherwise, I kind of like the oak/red color combo.

This is double diamond stitching. We have just recently started doing it and lot of people are ordering it. It really gives your covers a fancy look. Also, same stitching style on shift, and e-brake boot with center console just takes the interior to the next level.

Yeah, but that's the buyers taste I guess, so I can look past that. The logo, another big no for me.
I can't look past the bad wrinkles, which seems to be the norm...

As far as the “S” logo the car would have to be supercharged and its still probably too much. Imo

will those tighten up? Otherwise they look good to me.

Incredibly tacky. Gives Corvette owners a bad name/cheapens the Corvette brand/image.

Can you imagine a Porsche or Ferrari with Superman logos on it?

I agree, however, I recently saw a new black Lambo with bright yellow Batman logos on the hood, sides and rear!

Not my style at all but, as long as the owner likes them that's all that matters.

It's just too much. Looks cluttered.

Like several others have expressed, I'd forgo the Superman logo.

But I do like the diamond pattern.

If you were a member who had done this to their car, I would say nothing (in other words, I'd have nothing nice to say, so would say nothing at all).

I pretty much agree with this one. Just to much going on for my taste. Hope the owner loves it though.
