Passenger Seat Swap

Does anyone know if a passenger seat could be converted to a drivers seat on a GSL-SE? Someone's selling a good passenger leather seat, but it's my drivers seat that needs to be swapped out...

The seat rails are different, and the controls will be on the "wrong" side, but I don't see why not

you might be able to pull the seat covers off the seat you're looking to buy and put them on your seat? You would end up with a hole in the side though.

The biggest problem would be the rails, the bottom of the passenger side is angled on the one side to clear the bump in the floor for the catalytic converter. You would need to make some custom brackets to get everything to be at the right angle, since the driver side seat bottom is flat...
