Thought I would post this for future reference. You can order specific replacement parts with the Tension Blue color. The links below have p/n from a forum vendor.
The Tension Blue Interior Trim is all available for purchase,
We have the Tension Blue Interior here
We are just working on getting the Competition Seat Conversion available in this color; there are part number errors that we are working with GM Part Tech to fix

Pictures of the GM Grand Sport indoor stretch cover (LPO VRX - P/N 23249342).
Note, I thought this cover was black like the Stingray version I replaced. It is not, it is a very dark blue with a lighter blue stitching around the perimeter. It's fine, just thought it was going to be black :-)
I took a picture of it where it shows the Watkins Glen paint for comparison and tried to get a shot that shows the Grand Sport logo, it is really ghosted in there and hard to see, harder to see than the Stingray's on the other version.
Fit is the same as the Stingray version, same template I'm assuming.
And now that the photos are attached, I can see my phone struggled to get focus on one of them, but you get the idea :-)

My GS CE 323
My new Grand Sport Collectors Ed was delivered by Intercity via MacMulkin today, #323!!
I want to quickly share how this deal came together. I owned a base 15 DSOM...had a desire for the GS...got offer from Carmax and from friend who owns several Nissan dealerships (his offer was 2K above carmax)...
Around 11PM I decided to quickly post to the sale forums right here at Corvette Forums...didn't think anything would materialize... at 11:30PM i get a PM and email from Matt Duke. he says he's interested....ok i thought strap in for the low *****...anyway once he finds out I am buying a GS from Mulkin, as he calls them, he says he can organize Mulkin to do the deal as a trade in and save me serious tax $$... he says he will personally speak with Tommy jr and I can call him to confirm...ok I'm bit skeptical...next day sure enough MacMulkin is good to go...so easy of a deal...got 2k above my friend at Nissan AND the serious tax saving. couldn't be more happy...now my #323 is getting Suntek and SatinExpel on stripe...should see again next week....Oh and one more thing my previous Stingray was a A8 and I totally jumped 2 feet and pulled a M7 this time...stalled her once today and lugged a bunch of time...oh boy!!

#522
Hello - I'm a brand new corvette owner and forum member. I picked up #522 from MacMulkin on Easter. Looks like you've got the details already in the sheet. I live in Salem, NH - heading back in today for the 500 mile oil change. Absolutely loving the car and the fact that spring/summer has arrived, even in New England

I put a post in the General C7 forum in regards to a "mystery" around GSCE car #0001. I think this "explains" that mystery as well as the sill plates that we see in those photos. If interested, take a read. Post can be found here for future reference.

Thank you to all of you forum members who helped answer questions and gave me advice throughout my buying process! #227 is now home in Goshen, IN!!! I had a great experience with Jeff Irish @ Les Stanford Chevrolet. My wife and I rented a car one way and he picked us up and drove us to the dealership where my new baby was all prepped and ready to go! I couldn't be happier! I've been waiting a long time to be a vette owner and as a young guy I feel super lucky to even have one of these CE's! Thanks again to everyone and I look forward to seeing much more on this thread.
