Default CRX seat swap /upgrade info

Is it possible to take a passenger side seat and putting it on the drivers side with the right work? if so is it hard to do? i cant seem to find a decent driver side seat so i figured i would see if its possible. any info would be appreciated. thanks

I swapped ALL the foams from the passenger side to the driver side and the upper fabric on my Si seats. I didn't use hog rings to put it all back together, I used big zip ties - they work VERY well and were easy to install.

On the foam swap, the uppers work fine, the lower seat pan foams have to be trimmed just a little around the seat tilt adjuster. After making that small change, the swap worked fine.

i have a hog ring tool that I'll try using. i did it gsr seats into the rear of an ek and used zip ties though, so may resort to that if neccesary. You took the foam and evrtyhing right off the skeleton? I dont know if i wanan do that..seems it would slide around or something...since they arent ripped and just aren as firm, maybe ill go to the reupholstering shop in town and see if i can get some foam or something
