Changing rear seats.
Guys, has anyone installed coupe rear seats into a cabriolet?
I want to change my interior to a black leather, the only one I can find is from an ANG coupe.
The only problem I can see are these rear seats.
So if anyone has done it I would be grateful to hear from you.

The seat bottoms might be able to be fitted since they are just tension secured, but the seat back is of an entirely different multi-piece design on the Coupe vs the Convertible. Also the Convertible seatback has a cutout for the powered headrests. I've often thought about searching out a seat bottom from a coupe to install in my convertible because I preference the completely separated design of the coupes seat bottom.
Since you're considering going from a lighter color to black - have you considered having the leather dyed? Sureflex and Leathertique are fantastic products for automotive leather dye and last impressively well. I dyed a set of Tan Porsche seats Black and they still looked great when I sold the vehicle 8 years after they'd been dyed.
