I know for sure the foam and the leather seatskins are interchangeable. Also, the bracket bolt hole spacings are identical, so if you can overcome the electrical challenges then it should work.

I thought about this. Actually posted a wanted for a black pass seat. My idea was to get a pass side covers and foams to redo my drivers seat. My pass side is perfect.

If you don't swap the skins, another thing to consider is that the OEM seats have cloth side bolsters that face the inside or center console.
