Default seat inserts

I was wondering if there was anywhere that i could get the middle of the seat done in yellow. So it would have yellow inserts. I am also going to get a yellow shift boot and e-brake. Would it be worth getting the yellow seat inserts? Any info would be appreciated

Brite Ideas will have the replacement seat skins in yellow/black and red/black soon they will be like the pictures on this post. We should have them is less than two weeks, all of the leather will be Italian leather and much better quality than the original skins. The price will be between 500.00 to 600.00 for the complete set (back insert and full bottom skins. DSOM will be available soon also.

The bottom cover is really easy to change and the back insert has a zipper and a couple push pins. Our kits will come with a instruction DVD for easy installation and they will have a 100% satisfaction guarantee. The most difficult part of the operation is unplugging the seat harness and removing the four nuts that hold the seat.

Was this originally a black interior? Did you wrap the lower door panel in gray leather?

Yes it was all black all the lower part of the dash, glove compartment, knee bolster, center console base, center console lid, shift boot and handles, door panels, windshield trim, dashboard, seats, headliner.

You can only do that if you have a 2LT or 3LT. The base 1LT or 05 1SX has a one piece seat back instead of the 2 piece that the optional seats have

Will they offer a replacement for the 1LT/1SX which requires a full one piece bottom and a full one piece top. The base seats do not have an insert on the top seat back. Center section is sewn in, much like the seat cushion.

P.S. I would even consider a solid color instead of two tone.

This will definately be my last mod. Probably. Maybe. Ok, fer sure I will do no mods in the last 30 days before i sell it and get a Z06.

I want to do the yellow seat back inserts only, not the seat base.

partially because my dash pods and radio/nav console are Millennium Yellow already.
Partially because I dont want to remove the seats - the seatback inserts look like they can be installed without removing the seats from the C6.

Am I correct in this for installing seatback inserts?

Any input on how well the yellow from any of these sources "match" Millennium Yellow?

PM me your shipping address so I can send you a leather swatch so you can compare the color.

Thank You
