Has anyone successfully installed a passenger seat cover on a drivers seat? I have searched the forums but, I didn't see any definitive answer.
Seat cover swap 93 Mark VIII

I saw someone put a passenger seat bottom on a driver's seat.
The openings where the seat back connects to the seat bottom are different sizes because of the outboard location of the recliner motor.
It wasn't a perfect fit, but it looked a lot better than the original ripped leather.

Isn't that like putting your right shoe on your left foot?

Why not just find the correct side instead?

try finding good leather skins to replace with, all the mark VIII's i buy and strip i almost never get front seats that arent trashed. its alot easier to buy a rear seat skin from the same color interior and having an upholstery shop use the rear leather to fix the front. i/ve done this its a dead match and you can even tell its been done. i have tons of rear seat skins in a bunch of colors for sale.

Thanks for all the feedback, I would love to find 93 seat covers in pristine condition but I know that I have as much a chance of that as winning the lottery. I do have access to good 98 foam but, my girlfriend swore the wrath of God on me if I touched them, funny, I thought I bought that car. I especially like the idea of the 98 foam, those seats are allot easier on my back and legs.
I will continue searching the bone yards and upholstery shops for a good deal.
If any of you have had the seats made from scratch and want to share what you paid for them, I would appreciate it.

I've got some good Gen I foam...
Jamie...shipping and cost of a rear seat leather...someone left tires in the backseat on a hotday...and i dont really like the michelin imprinted on my back seats grey colour for a 94 if it matters...would be great to have a new one because the front seats are mint and the backs were mint before the tire misfortune...live in canada near toronto...
