Stock FD seats

Can I switch the passenger and dirver seats? That is, flip flop them? I ask because my driver side is looking bad these days on the door side and I'd like to hide some of it. I know the seat belt clip won't be on the correct side any more but just a question. THanx

Not really...remember that the recline controls are on the outside of the seat (that is, facing to the outside of the car). Also, the brackets are different depending on the side (ex...the metal rod that sticks out in the back near the transmission tunnel), the seatbelt holding strap at the top outside part of the seat would be different, and the seatbelt mounts are different. Basically, it wouldn't be a direct swap by any means.

sure, but you would have the holes for the seat belt strap on the wrong side.

I looked at a pair of seats that I happen to have out and it does not appear that the seat cushions & patterns are symmetrical. And therefore not really interchangeable.

There was a group buy (Look in group buys section) on some Do-It-Yourself re-upholsetering kit that claimed it could be done in 3Hrs. / Seat.... so 6 Hrs total...
