Default Interior swap

This is just curiosity talk.

Has anyone thought of swapping the red leather seats from the new GS350 F-sport? or has anyone already done it? or is it even possible?

I love the new red interior which is the reason why I brought this up.

You can have your interior upholstered to have the red accents and red stuff.

i mean the swap would not only be for looks. The new seats are amazingly comfortable.

How deep are your pockets?

Anything is possible with enough money...it can be done...

From what I've heard...the mounting is different...which is to be expected...

Where would you even get the interior besides ordering it from Lexus?

U damnnn right, that's like asking about how much to swap in a ISF/GSF motor? Same ideal about swapping an ISF steering wheel in our 3rd gen ($2k?) List goes on, anything is possible my friend and the seats? Woooooooo! I'd swap them too but it's expensive man. It'll give a more sophisticated classy look.

I should of made it clear on if it can be a direct fit and little to no modifications to have it fit right on.

It's seriously not hard to retrofit it, Lots of welding places can cut and reweld your lower brackets to fit the 3GS. Wiring you might need to redo some plugs and whatnot, I think that's about all there is to it.

Last I checked 3GS seats were in the thousands if ordered new from factory. I'm sure this applies and probably adds more with the 4GS seats.
