No.

The seat adjustment controls and seat mounted airbags would be on the wrong sides.

Just a heads up, not 100% sure this will work but remember we have side air bags, they won't work when placed on the other side

What if you unwrap the whole seat? Switching the leather?... Only thing that holds the leather to the cushion are O rings and clips

I probably have the same issue as you do Bacardi, the passenger seat shows no wear & you can see the wear in the drivers seat greatly...lol. I'm looking into having my seats done in the next few months,right now I'm planning on having the center inserts done in black ostrich.I've started to look into the fabrics,comparing the "real" to the "prints",of course there's a difference in price...lol...some companies offer free samples,so planning on ordering some next week while car is in shop
