well i'm not sure, it probably wasn't an option, i just assumed you didn't have to have them red but all the cw ones ive seen, which is 2 at the most, had red seats, but i'm not sold saying they only gave ya red yet, i still think they made nice 2001 yellow itrs here with black or red seat option, so i don't see why they wouldn't put it an option for the CW models... i'll inform myself at the dealer in quebec soon (which i probably know more then them at that)
