Also, this may be my imagination, but it seems that my 2008 3LT 2-tone seats seem much better then my 2006 3LT solid ebony.
Was there a seat improvement made in 2008 irregardless of solid vs 2-tone covers?
The parts of the seat that touch your body are leather the backs and balance of the seat material are not. There were no changes to the OEM leather from 2005 to current. The two tone are the same as they have been since 2007 as are the solid color seats since 2005.

Just my opinion...the seats are nice, but the two tone never seem to match the exterior color...

I really like the looks of the two tone interior.. It breaks it up.. not so mono looking.. pricey option... but I thought it was worth it..

Then you just have to take it a step further.

Same reason I got the 2-tone. Just breaks up the interior a little bit more. I've had plenty of all black interiors and wanted something a little different. I think it has a nice classy look about it. But price wise, GM does make out real well on this option. But they do that with all options.

Lovely, just like mine in Ebony/Titianium. I see three vette Flags...
Always wondered what that the red two tone interior would look like in machine silver vert.

The seat and the seat material is basically the same. The two tone has embroidered logos near the headrest that would have been less gaudy if they were a little smaller but you get used to it. The stitching on the two tone seat is also a different color in the black bolsters (it is red on the two tone red seats, kind of like a Z06).

If you have already had all black seats, two tone is nice for a change. But it seems like only a few body color/seat color combos are actually flattered by the two tone effect, so pay attention.

SEMI-correct ... the stitching in the black side bolsters is also color coordinated on the colors that I have seen up close.

Does anyone have the part# for just the seat bottom & center section in cobalt red & black as I only want to change those and not deal with the air bag.
