Default difference in seats?

I called katzskin today to get a price on a pair of seat covers and they only have a pattern for the 99+coupe without sport seats. Are they different from my 97 standard seats?

deeper side bolster on a 97 base seat and a 99 base seat or different forum base to sport.

without sport seats and standard seats would be the same, different wording for 'Base' seats

the Sport seats have the 'corvette' lettering and the hole in the backrest
