Default Different colored seats ?

I plans on getting two tone seats. But there’s two different styles


. Does anyone know how to order the ones with less color on the bolsters.

I found out what the difference was. The seats that have less color in the bolsters are the competition seats. I really like how it looks but I wonder how the competition seats would feel. I think they would be very uncomfortable as an everyday driver. Has anyone ordered these competition seat.? Are they very comfortable??thanks for any comment.

The answer will vary wildly as different body shapes may or may not be comfortable. If you are a larger person, probably not.

As stated above no one can correctly tell what seats will be most comfortable for you. Even given your height and weight doesn't help much as it all depends on how your weight is distributed. I'd recommend you go to large Corvette dealerships to actually try the different seat designs.
I went to Corvettes at Carlisle and sat in all three all and my decision was easy.

As noted, far tooooo subjective to go by anyone else's opinion, at least unless you are sure their body size/shape is the same as yours. Even then... Problems seem to arise if ones size and/or shape is toward the extremes, especially the large end of the distribution. I'd want to actually sit in any I was interested in if I were "large." All the best, in any event.

Good advice given to actually sit in the various seat types prior to placing your order. Only way you will know for sure.
