I'm sure they are different sizes and would anchor into the car differently. Is the foam in your car bad or just the cloth? You could take both seats and strip the cloth off of them. Then take the cloth from the new seat and put it over the old foam and use a hog ring and plier kit (link provided below) to secure the new fabric to the old foam. I did this in my Mustang and it looks perfect. I actually used the old rings that weren't broken and safety pins. Cost me $15 for a job that would have been alot more at an upholstery shop.
