Don't kill me for saying that, but I have always liked cloth interiors better than the leather or what ever this stuff is called. Are there companies out there that make cloth seats?

I don't know if anyone makes cloth interior for the C5 but I'm not against the idea. I bet it could be done quite nicely

Any quality auto upholstery shop can help

I would like to find some nice neoprene seat covers though. My leather seats are a bit worn and I don't want to dish out major bucks to replace them.

You don't have to go to an upholstery shop. The seats on a C5 are quite easy to do yourself. The toughest part of the job is finding hogs rings. Here is a seat we did for a C3 we are redoing. It took less than an hour which I don't think was bad considering it was our first time.

I think Southern Car parts has them.

I hate the feeling of cloth in the hot summer!

Well cloth is nicer as far as the weather goes, if its hot sunny, the seats won't burn you and if its cold they won't be frozen, but the quality and looks just aren't there.
