F50 rear reclining seat install?

I've been hunting around and cannot find any sites or threads on swapping out non reclining rear seats for 2002+ Q45s with the rear reclining seats. I have access to the rear recliners and controls, but I wanted to make sure I wouldn't run into any fitment issues. Anyone have more info on this swap?

Kouki seems to be the man on these items. Kouki let me know if you have any info on this. I'll see if I can get the FSM on the reclining seats. If anyone has pics or info, post them up. Thanks!

Looks like it would be fairly difficult and not worth all the trouble (and that's coming from someone who swapped an LS1 into an S14 by myself before the info was out there). I can count on one hand the number of times a passenger actually used them since I've owned the car. Took me hours to get them out. If you can get me a picture of the underlying structure of an F50 with the bench seat, I can post one of what's under the reclining ones and I have access to the FSM...just have to find the link (or I can e-mail it).

probably so... but on my F50 I use/show off the recline seats feature, no lie, like daily haha
it's a great luxury amenity that one wouldn't expect from a 5k-ish vehicle so if their is a will their is always a way.


off topic but also nice quote...

Also, you need the entire harness from the car since it runs up the front for relays i believe. You need door harness as well too. Reason why I got the m45 seats is cause the harness, and the controls are in the console, not in the doors. So making the seats work this way would be way way easier. but the rails from the m45 do not fit, and i dont have time to make them fit either. But the controls are the same as the q45 ones, so all you have to do is run power to the console and be done I can sell you the setup so you can have an easier time of doing so. :D
