Regarding seat choices.....I believe GM is going to have a ton of warranty claims on the standard seats due to the C7 emblem breaking off on the top of the seat. I just noticed the driver side emblem on my C7 has already broke off. I can't believe GM even considered placing these emblems on the seats.

Completely ruins the look. Screams boy racer in what is supposed to be GM's premier, sophisticated sport touring car. I would dump the seats for some Recaro EVO seats.

And lose the airbags?

The Boy Racer comment is pretty funny from a guy in a 4th gen FBody.

Oh that's cute, attack my car. Because it's my username means that it's the only car I own.

And yes, I would happily lose the airbags. We were fine without seat airbags for many many years, and we certainly do not need them now.

I'm not attacking your car, I found it funny. I come from multiple fbodies. But if you want to take it personal you said my car was boy racer, so... Wah.

Losing the airbags means living with alarms and warnings and whatever else. No thanks, plus everyone that has looked at my car loves the seats.

To each their own, I just think it's silly to name the seats what they are. Like engraving "Spoon" onto the handle of a spoon.

Umm, it says "Competition" not "Seat".

I can ..... It was their way of paying homage to the b s interiors of past gens. On a more serious note, I'll bet it was cheaper than the embroidered cross flags.

Retarded, really? I have the Comp Seats and I have yet to get one comment regarding the word "competition" on the Seat.

To be frank, nobody even notices, but I have been asked if the section with the flag / competition surrounding the opening for the Four Point Belts is made of Plastic or Carbon Fiber.

BTW - I'm not really that PC, but "Retarded" is a word Teenage Girls and Bill Maher use. Try "silly" or another verb that won't offend those of us with Developmentally Disabled People in the Family. Thanks.
