Default seats?

I'm getting ready to order a new 07 coupe and was wondering if I could get some help. What is the REAL difference between 1LT and 2LT seats. Is it just the perforations or are the frames or bolsters different?
What about leather quality?

I'm "Pretty" sure it's just the perforations, but there is also the option to get the two tone on 2LT. Also 2LT comes standard with passenger power seats, cannot get passenger power on 1LT.

Default lumbar support

The 1lt don't have adjustable lumbar support. I think my 1 lt seats are fine as far as comfort.

I was thinking about the two tone seats. That is the only reason I would possibly get 2LT as long as the seat shape and bolsters are the same. i knew about the power pass. and lumbar adjust and dont really need/want Them. just wanting some feed back on 1LT seats or the visual difference between the two

The black gray are 1LT, the gray and red are 2LT. The leather quality on both are the same. I had both on my car but actually kept the 1LT.

Well, not exactly. They are 1 and 2LT after you got done with them. Look great by the way.

According to the GM order book, the 2LT seats add adjustable lumbar and side bolsters, plus side air bags.

Default I like the perforated seats but...

In my experience perforated leather seats wear faster. Maybe because of dimwit passengers with dangling keys, etc. catching the tiny holes and pulling on them!

Yea, I know that feeling. Five years ago I bought a brand new Yukon. One of my buddys left a Fruit punch gatoraide with the TOP OFF sitting on rear floor board when he got out. I got back in took off and....well you know the rest. Funny thing is I still remember the mileage on the car when this happened..........89miles.

The main reason I went with the better seats was to get the side air bags as the roads are full of idiots!

Also, if you plan on any long trips you may want to consider the 2LT's for adjustable comfort.

Yeah, I love the adjustable lumbar on long trips. I miss it when I drive something without it.
