Default Swap seats from newer Lexus?

Since a lot of my mechanical/bodywork is done (see other thread), I want to do a new interior.


Has anyone ever swapped in seats from a newer Lexus? I like the idea of variable heating/full electrics/etc etc, like the LS460/LS600. Any advice? What seats out there are best?


Thanks!

I know nothing about swaping but a lil word from experience i just put some sparcos in all you need to make sure is right is all the mounting bolts line up i had all but one because it was a supra rail now im having trouble with it wobbling but other then that there is a clip under the seat you remove for moving the seat and heating it make sure that the other lexus seat is compatible or you are capable of wiring accordingly

Thanks - that is certainly important from safety POV!

I am capable of doing the wiring myself. I guess I will need to get the brackets custom made (no biggie).

Any opinions on what seats you guys would go for? (From a luxury perspective, no fixed-back buckets :-) )
