Seats: Will '08 front seats fit in my '03?
I got a '08 TL as a rental some time ago and I really like the front seats in them and want to know if they would fit into my '03 TL-S. I tried to research it, but can't get a definitive answer... Someone (anyone) let me know if this is possible...

I did a little looking and if you go by looking at the diagrams solely it doesnt look like it would work.
Here is a 3rd gen seat
here is a 2G seat
But you never know until you try it
those are from Acuraoemparts.com BTW

I didnt get pics but i just looked at my neighbors after getting a retarded look for asking and the connectors do not look the same or the rails. Now with that said im sure they could be switched and made to work but then the question arises Is it really worth it because for one the color will probably not match because of the age diff in the leather and they will not match the backseat leather and so on

Even if the rails are different it MAY be possible to get the stock rails to bolt to the seat or change the existing rails to work. As for wiring i dont see it being hard to switch some of the pins/harness to work. You may loose some features like the Drivers position feature on the 02-03 but one wouldnt know till the seat was swapped over. I think the trickiest part would be getting the side airbag to work.
Every one said that the 6 speed wouldnt fit or work in our cars or would cost way to much to try to swap. We all know how that turned out.

What???? What can you tell from that pic other than they look different? It shows NOTHING of the mounting system.

thats why i did NOT say that they wouldnt work. I said if you go Solely off those diagrams i would say no because they look too different.
Then i had another post stating that i looked at the 2 in person and they still do not look like they will fit

Which is why i said without trying you wont know. It may be possible to get the 2G rails to bolt up to the seat without issue. Someone needs to find someone willing or buy a seat and try.
