Instead of getting new seats just get yours reupholstered. You can get the exact match of your car.

Yes you can. I'm guessing you mean after the fact of ordering the car. Gene Culley at GMpartshouse offers them. Here is one thread with ordering and pricing information:

The 2 tone look is really nice and your choices would be red/ebony, cashmire/ebony, and titanium/ebony.

Default Sheepskin

I was going to do the same thing until I realized that for some reason I sweat in these leather seats, so instead of getting new ones with the holes in them (as I didn't notice too much difference in sweating when I rode in another Vette) to protect the ones in there already I installed two-tone sheepskins. Not only the looks are good, but I love the feel of these too, and now I no longer sweat in them.

One thing I forgot to mention was that the two tone seat covers from GM are designed to fit the 2LT/3LT seats only. The 1LT is lacking the side airbags. I believe that someone has gone ahead and put the two tone on their 1LT seat but additional work needs to be done in the side bolster area to accommodate the space left by the absence of the side airbag module.

No, but they are Charcoal around the outside and Black on the inside. My understanding is that one can create a plethora of combinations given the right manufacturer (store).
