There are way to many crossed flag logos on this car now. Mine has 6 on the outside (counting the wheel centers), and four on the inside. ( counting flr matts). Thats 10. That many really cheapens the value of the logo.

The 2012 option for x'd flags on 2LT's was on constraint for a good part of the model year!

Too many logos in my opinion. Nothing wrong with them. Some like it simple.

Just went through deliberating this for my purchase of the 2012 seat conversion kit for my 09. Decided to get the color embroidered headrest cross flags mostly because they were a "no cost" option. All the pictures and videos I have seen on the net had one of them.

The seat emblems are OK on a coupe. On a convert with the waterfall it's just too much.

Amen to this. I ordered my 2011 LT3 coupe with flags, when I picked up the car...no flags. Dealer said "Whoops, don't worry, we'll deduct what you paid for them." Thanks, but I'd rather have the flags. Especially after reading this thread.

I would not have ordered them myself, but I bought off the lot and they are on mine. They look pretty nice, but I would have preferred the 'grand sport' embroidery. I would have thought they would be more popular.

My GS came without them. It was an off the lot purchase and was the only thing missing that I would have ordered. Recently upgraded the seat back covers myself which was pretty straightforward. Reasonably priced at the forum GM vendors.

Default Crossed flags embroidery on seat back

Does anyone know of a place where you can send your OEM seat covers and have the crossed flags embroidery done aftermarket? Thanks.

Sharp feature. Very visible from outside the Car. I have received many compliments about the look from non Vette people.

They are automatically included with the two tone seats, therefore they do not have to be separately ordered if the two tone seats are ordered.

I think they look good on the headrests.
