Default Natural dipped perforated seats look dirty on GT2 seats?

I was pretty set on getting Natural Dipped & GT2 seats with leather inserts. After looking at some of the recent photos, I am not so sure anymore. Perforated seats look dirty on GT2 seats.

For those who went to Corvettes at Carlisle, what are your thoughts? Were any of you planning to get Natural Dipped and decided against it after seeing it in person?

This thought will disappear into the recesses of you mind after you sit in the seats and turn on the cool airflow.

These seats probably have not been cleaned since new and probably a 1,000+ plus people of all type sat in them! The cars go from one event to another too! I think if you do not do wear soiled clothing while being in the C8 or keep a bath size towel around in the trunk when you are dirty, you should be find!

If you do not get a lot of responses, do a search. This has been covered quite a bit.

Thanks Golddog. I did search, couldn't find anything. Would you kindly point me to the links?

Not sure if this is what your looking for. I feel the grey and tan will present the same way.

Small holes + digitization with limited pixels makes this 'dirty' issue look a lot worse than it will be in person (with a single user)

I had a C5 with the parchment interior. Got dirty I just used a damp cloth and wiped it off. I would expect the same with the natural in the C8

The red over natural dipped tan 3LT car at NCM is showing a little wear/dirt, but hundreds of people are swarming all over it and in it like vultures. I think you’ll be fine if you just clean the seats regularly with a damp cloth. You may need some alcantara cleaner for sueded areas.

This interior looks fabulous and feels very expensive to the touch.
