A couple days back read a thread here about iron on patches. Ebay and about 16 dollars including water resistant adhesive tape and what do you think. Will have them placed by someone with a better eye. That all black LT1 interior needs something.

Just my opinion...either have them embroidered or go without.

Perhaps a glue that works with fabrics and leather would be cleaner than a tape.

If you like the little touch the emblem adds to the basic seats, go for it...it's your car and your taste, after all. I see you already upgraded your console lid, so why not the seats? I'd maybe consider cutting the word "Corvette" off the patches and just go with the crossed flags. It'll look almost OEM that way.

The head rest not so much, but the center console looks good.

I'd say no, it'll look Pep Boyish.

Cheesy...You asked😏 That stuff reminds me of when I worked the parts counter at a Harley dealership. A customer got the new Kuryakyn catalog and bought every single thing that fit his bike. OMFG..🙊🙊🙊

Remove the corvette part and it will look good. Take what people say with a grain (a big one) of salt. Many are a little snobbish about what they think you should have. Some will be downright rude. I prefer the members that tell you it's your car and do as you like. But on the other hand you asked and people will not hold back. So be prepared. LOL.

Pure Provalone. I would only have it if it came from the factory, like my '13 GS

Never understood the need to have the cross flags all over the car.
It's like "Ride or Die" all over Harley accessories.

If you order the two tone interior you get the flags.
