Default LS430 2001 Front seat bottoms interchange

Does the seat bottoms from 2001 thru 2005 front seat bottom cushion with leather cover interchange left to right or visa versa? Trying to replace drivers seat bottom cover LK03 leather code, with OE from car-part salvage selection. Right seats have less wear than drivers seat bottoms and if the rt front fits would have larger selection to choose from.

yes, the bottom foam/leather are interchangagle. quite a bit of work to take out and reinstall. Did this on my 2004 430.

Interesting, that's good thinking, because when I've ridden in my car as a passenger, the seat feels really nice. Again, my buddy theorizes that the reason the seat gets soft, is that it's ventilated and has holes. If this is the case, it seems futile, I mean with seats being shot and the car only has 60k, we'd be changing the parts every 3-4 yrs....

p.s. what was I thinking with that Costco memory foam cushion? And no, it didn't work!!!!

Hey i am not positive but i do not think that all the bottoms are the same the perforated ones might have different foam and leather it is something to look into.
