Default Interior Update
Upgraded the foam to the sport seat with 100% leather and suede insert. Also added harness bar and carbon look parts to replace the painted silver. Also put in a new Kenwood radio.

Looks good. Where did you get the suede inserts from?

Where did you buy the seat inserts or did you just have the reupholstered? They look and I'm sure feel great vs the stock seat.

I had the cheap seats, so I bought the upgraded foam from Corvette Recyclers and had leatherseats.com make me the seat covers with the suede centers. I was really surprised when I saw the mat white Corvette in the Chevy booth at SEMA with the same configuration.

I'm confused. You had the 1LT base seats and just upgraded the foam to the 2LT foam? They look nice btw.

The base is the same, but the back foam is different. The seat frames are the same. You need a bunch of little parts that only the dealer has to make it work and of course new seat covers.

Hmmmmm......interesting. Will most dealerships or parts vendors know exactly which parts are needed. What was the ballpark figure spent ( not including covers). Thanks
