No, they won't. The mounting rails on the bottom of the 2nd gen seats don't line up with that on the first gen.

Maybe you can swap the rails, I know a few honda guys that do that from one honda to the next, but not 100% if it would work for lexus/toyota

You can make most anything work if you have the fab skills.

That's true. A friend of mine who has a first gen wanted to see if the second gen seats would work on his car - said he could fabricate something to make them fit but he also mentioned it'd take quite a bit of work and that he wasn't really willing to do it at the moment.

Oh well, anyhow, I've got a complete set of second gen seats in great condition that I haven't been able to get rid of. If I can't flip them within the next month or so I'm going to see if I can pay my friend to custom fabricate something so I can install them in my car. If I choose to go that route, I'll be sure to let you guys know how it goes

I was just watching a set of IS3 seats go on fleebay that I wish I would have bid on. Nice clean black on black with microfiber. But it was front and rear. I only wanted front, then would have had the rear custom made to match.
