Doesn't look bad however I believe it may be a pain-in-*** getting it to adhere for any period of time, assuming you will have to use some form of adhesive to attach?
And after adhesive has been applied there's a good chance that you have ruined your seat cover if you ever decide you don't want the flag any longer.

Remember the plastic crossed flags on the C7 seats in the same location, that were mechanically fastened with a pin and clip and they were problematic to many owners with the area being a high-touch area with your head rubbing against it all the time.

I bought some, I think that's the way they should have come from GM. I do get some feedback from the wife her hair gets stuck on their edges -

They look good but I'd have questions about longevity.

How much is too much is always a huge considering when dealing with design as it's often a very thin line between looking good and gaudy.
Daytona Bike Week was last week and custom motor cycle design is a very good example of this. Many bike designers just don't seem to know when to stop.

I thin it looks good, and so go for it if you can find a really secure way to make it stick.
