Default Two Tone Interior Option

Getting close to ordering new C7 to replace my 07 C6. Considering Shark Grey with AR interior, and looking at the two tone option. Chevy website shows two tone AR interior with black seat bolsters and red seat/back. Thought I saw a thread here that there was some discrepancy with that, the actual interior is red bolsters with black seat/back. Did a search and found nothing on this. Has anyone actually got the two tone AR interior and which way it really is? Thanks.

Thanks for the responses, guys, I think this is what I want. Now just need to wait for spring. I want to do museum delivery (that's how I got my C6), but don't want to do it in winter.

Here's what the 2LT looks like.

I like the less red in the 2LT over the 3LT.

Here's a pic of SG 2LT with no 2-tone. I didn't have the 2-tone option.

A 2-tone will tame down the red. But I like red.

A 2-tone will tame down the red. But I like red.

That's the only way I could live with Adrenaline Red. In fact I like it in it's toned down state.

I think that's why I like it; it's Red, not RED

Both 2 tone configurations look good.

It's kind of like the word LOUD. Red interiors are cool no matter how it is divided.

Red stitching is a nice touch.

My 2 cents. I am a detail guy so I notice changes and differences quickly. I like the two tone. Think the contrast brakes up the look in a positive way. The right color strip on a car for example like black stripe on shark grey adds to the look with color contrast. IMHO. All in what you like.

The black center seat with red trim is actually red leather trim with black suede in center. You can see it here; http://www.corvetteconti.com/blog/?page_id=23817

Definitely don't like that. So if you go for the microfiber you get the black center and red bolsters. When I order I will ask about that. Is that specified somewhere on the order form? Just want to make sure I don't order the wrong thing.

I like that color combo in any combo. I have a 3LT adrenaline red with the two tone doors and dash. Love it.

I have not seen the order form so I cannot comment on that. If you look at these to pictures it lists the the two tone seat configurations by color and by leather and leather/suede combo

Do NOT go by the renderings they do not reflect actual.

If you order the 703 Trim Package with two tone seat option you get black bolsters with red inserts and red headrest. If you order the same trim package but select the two tone option with suede you get the black suede inserts and red headrest with red bolsters like the car @ Rick's.
