Default Suede Inserts

Just bought a 2012 Grand Sport can't find a code for 3lt with seats with suede inserts, anyone know it? Does anyone else have a 3LT with Suede Inserts seats.. I was told you can only get them with the 4LT package, strange

Did you buy a new 2012? ..... or used?

I do believe that the suede (Alcantera) inserts only come with the 4LT package.

But you can certainly put them in any car. I have them in my 2010 2LT coupe. (I installed them myself)

I have the suede inserts on my 2012 3LT GS. I believe you must order the Heritage package and specify ebony/ebony as the two tone interior.

The heritage package comes with a two color seat unless you have an ebony interior. The ebony seats come with the suede insert. (They had to give you something for your $1500 if you didn't get a colored insert, I guess. )

Thanks! No, but I learned enough that I helped a local friend and forum member Johnodrake do his seats as well.
