Default seat differences between gs300, gs350 & gs430?

hello,
i have an 06 gs430 and have considered buying a set of used front seats and wanted to know if there are any differences between the 2006-2009 gs300, gs350 or gs430 seats? i dont want to waste any money to find out they arent interchangeable for some reason

thanks in advance for your comments

They are the same seats, as far as I know. The only difference is the trim that benbuilt4u mentioned.

06-07 are standard black. 08+ are silver like these.

also if you score a 2008+, depending on the car / options, it might have the semi-aniline leather which is much better grade

update......the seats from an 06 gs300 do not fit in an 06 gs430........removed front seats and was ready to put in the other seats and the rails are totally different. i could have spent hours removing and replacing the rails for each seat but not having much experience i didnt want to mess anything up.

it stinks because i bought a full interior just to get the seats and now i cant use them.....looks like i will be selling a full interior which will include f&r door panels as well as rear seats....bummer

The Gs300 front seats will not fit. The 300 seats are more narrow than the 430 therefore the bottom seat brackets will not aligned I've tried prior..

Are you sure the difference isn't related to the AWD vs RWD differences? The AWD models appear to have different seat tracks at least to accommodate "the hump" from the AWD transfer case.

I have swapped 2006 GS300 into GS430 with zero problems.
Rails, plugs, all match..
