Default 1997/1998 ls400 back seat fitment

Will a complete back seat from a 1998 LS fit properly into a 1997 LS?

uhh, they aren't.

'98-00 have center headrests. '95-97 do not.

That being said I would not be surprised if they interchange.

How different are the front seats on a 1997 vs 1998-2000? Will leather skins out of 1997 fit 1998-2000 front seats?

not properly, '98-00 have airbags in the front seats and the skins are pre-cut for them.

'97 (the odd year) do as well but i doubt they're in the exact same place.

So, the bottom cushion might be OK? Thanks, Pure

The 97LS also has side airbags built into the seats.
