mechanically yes, but the seat belts and the electrics will be on the inside. Just stop driving the car and it will minimize the wear on the seats.

If I stop driving it then I stop paying you....
And thanks I did not think about the electronics -
I guess I will have to order the Sparco seats that I want...

I think the leather seat covers are interchangeable. Vette Essential's website has instructions on how to remove the seat covers. You could just swap them or you could just tell your wife that the seats are ruined and you'll have to order a new set from Vette Essentials. After all, vette essential seats cost as much as stock, right?

Yes, the seat covers are interchangable. The only drawback, as mentioned above, is the controls would be to the inside instead of the outside.
