Default B6 or newer seats in a B5??

the interior boards are pretty dead so im posting this in here..
this summer i plan on swapping out my cloth seats for some leather ones. i was hoping to find a totaled B5, but then thought, why settle for the same old seats- how interchangeable are the seats from, say, a b6 or newer? i know electrical would probably be a bitch, but hey its a project. im mainly asking about the hardware and mounting, so if anyones done this or knows if its feasible let me know.

i've actually heard of people looking to go the other way (leather to cloth). as a leather guy with a garbage drivers seat i would also like to know how interchangeable these are, thinking maybe it will help me with some salvage options.

im in it for the heated seats and leather would be a lot easier to clean and wipe down

hey guys.. check this place out, i called about replacing my drivers seat (leather) and they quoted me $360 shipped to your door. You could certainly ask them about compatability between years.

That is a hell of a deal. Does this place have a website or is it a local store? I am trying to redo my car completely. Interior upgrades are a huge start.
