Exclamation Differences between driver seat and pasanger seat covers

Hey everyone, i just purchased an rx8 and the drivers side bolster is pretty much super worn down to much to try and have an upholstry place try to save it.

I found a guy selling the correct interior color combo and he is just selling the seat cover, not the whole seat or pan, just the top portion cover. He said it came off a passanger seat but really both the driver side and passanger side look pretty symmetricaly the same. Any way one would fit?

This is what he's selling, any input if itll fit my driver side will be awesome.

I'm definitely no master of interiors, but when I think about my seats, I can't think of anything that would cause major problems.

Won't work. Keep in mind there is a giant hole for the airbag on the side, you would need to patch that side then cut the other, since the airbag is on different sides of the seat depending on position.

they are different, HOWEVER the center is the same, and the bolsters are close enough that you could go to an upholstery shop and have them swapped over, the back and sides are different, although on the leather seat it might not be that different
