The bottom bolsters swap right out, you just separate the seat back from
the seat bottom, remove the bottom pad, and then you can swap the bottom
seqat bolsters.

When it comes to the seat back, you need to do some stitching...

I usually get another passenger seat back and use that on the driver's
side.
