Default Quick Seat Question

As I prepare the car for the winter nap and get out my "to do" list for the winter jobs I have in mind, I was wondering if it is possible to change the seats from one side to the other. I've noticed the driver side getting a little worn and want to put the almost new passenger side in its place. I have a 96 CE if thats any help. Has anyone ever done this? Thanks in advance

Haven't done it myself, but I remember reading in a corvette projects book that it was a good way to get more life out of the seats before replacing them.

In short yes. You could this this very easily. Some folks just swich out the bottom cushion. Do a forum search this should come up very often.

I switched the standard seats in my '96. It was easy, and the difference in looks and feel was amazing.
Highly recommend it.
