Default Differences between 2dr and hb rear seats

are hb rear seats the same as coupe rear seats? or maybe i should word the question like this:

i'm going to be DIY wrapping my seats over the summer, and the way i'm going to do it is pull out the seat, remove the cloth covers, unstitch the cloth peices, use them as templates and trace onto new material. cut out the new material, sew it together and intall back onto the seats.

so would i be safe in buying the cloth from a hb rear seat to use as templates for the rear seats in my coupe?

thanks everyone

coupe seats are split 60/40 while hb seats are split 50/50. the lower cushion is wider in the coupes. the locking pin/connection point up top is different too.

integra 2dr rear seats will fit into a hatchback but not into the coupe without modification. 4dr teg lower cushion fits into coupes to get rid of that gap.

if you're taking off the material to create new ones, why not just trace your existing ones? no sense in using other seats' material.

hope that helps.

the reason i want to use another seat's material is because incase i f something up, i will be able to throw my cloth back on. i mean, if i pull my cloth apart i might be able to sew it back together after i trace out the templates, but the seems would not be nearly as strong and would probably rip apart if someone sat on it(i'm guessing) well i can just buy the fronts off him i guess.
