I got the quickest response through emailing them.

I ordered light oak inserts but with the alcantara material. They are not a perfect match but pretty close. I will post a pic but it really wont help since it looks like a perfect match in every photo I have ever taken.

If they call you back, you might ask them to send you some samples.

OP: Now that we are back on topic the seats are very nice and well worth the price. Just an FYI. The alcantara will also keep you from sliding around.

If you plan on installing yourself, there are some excellent step by step directions provided by other members on this site along with some workarounds.

Good luck with the mod.

I'm also considering ordering a set of covers for my solid cashmere seats. I want to go with the black and perforated cashmere inserts but the console cover and shift boot is called light oak and the stitching is only offered in beige. I asked several months back for samples. Never got them but he did tell me via phone call that all the light oak/beige/cashmere colors are actually the same. He didn't know why they listed them with different names. According to a review that I read it seems the seat covers are made overseas and the U.S. location only distributes the covers. May be why I can't get samples. Even considered the "evo" style covers in black and beige, but Not sure how that would look on a C6. Any comments on the evo style in black and cashmere?

A few have installed the Evo style and they looked good IMO.

OK, almost ready to order the evo's with tan in place of the yellow as pictured on there website. The interior of the car is cashmere. I can find nothing in the way of interior seat colors that will go with the atomic orange paint other than the light oak and black. Just adding black to mix it up a little and add something custom. I currently have an atomic orange and cashmere console cover. Bought that a while back just to get something with padding for the console. I think the seat covers and console cover in burnt orange would be way too much color for a C6 interior
1rusty1, What seat description did you use when ordering your seats? base or sport? I have the same style seat as you, but I thought the sport was the Z06 style seat.

I also like this custom seat cover and not quite as chopped up as the evo style.

It's been a few years but if I remember correctly, it was the sport due to the airbag.
