How difficult to install seats from another car

I wanted to put in new more sporty seats in my CL, and then get everything reupholstered in two-tone leather (black and grey). Well, the problem is that the cheaper seats (i.e. APC and 3A racing) usually don't feel that good, or look cheap. And the nice seats (i.e. Sparco, Recaro, and Momo) cost alot of money.

Well I was at the junkyard getting something for my sisters car the other day and saw some stock seats from an older Eclipse and from an older preludes that I though were pretty nice. I get a pair of those for around $100. Thats about 1,000 cheaper then a nice pair of quality seats.

My question is, how difficult would it be to retro-fit seats like that into a first gen CL?

Wouldn't there be problems with the S2000 seats though because the car does not have a rear seat, and therefor is not made to slide forward and tilt forward enough for the rear passengers to get in
