Default Can you replace stock cloth seats with stock leather seats/

I did a search on this site but didn't come up with an answer.

I already have a base model `12 Z with sport package. I want to upgrade my stock seats to the touring leather seats with airbag and electronic controls. I found the seats just don't know if I should buy them yet.

So if I do buy them, will I be able to swap them out easy enough? Will it require a professional to do the job as I am not a mechanic?

The seats come with the door panels so I don't have to worry about that.

I called my Nissan dealer, and the said it would be anywhere from 3 grand to 12 grand! They wouldn't tell me if the seats would be a direct swap.

Thanks for your help.

I think all the wiring should already in the car. Other than the fact that they are leather and are powered, the seats are the same. Make sure you get the buttons too.

I sold my 40th interior and helped the guy install it. All electrical connections were there except the heated seat option. I'm not 100% sure if your able to swap to the heated seats if you don't already have the option.

I saw a show on tv where people look on a web site for stuff to deliver, then they get in a bidding war to deliver them... I would use this to ship them probably get it at a steal LOL

You have a '12 Z, so you should have the seat heater switch. I did the swap on my '12 Nismo and I had all of the necessary wiring. You just need the two seat heater switches. About $20 each.

Str8 swap, like someone mentioned earlier make sure the heating switches are included to save some time.
