So I have a 99 i30 and the driver's seat is pretty worn with some rips tears. It's been on my mind to swap out the seat for a while and I went to a local Pick N Pull to grab a blower motor and a control module. I ended up finding a cherry looking 98 I30t and grabbed the above mentioned parts along with the front and rear floor mat set, high tone horn, center arm rest, rear seat bottom and the driver's seat. This car had zero body damage but all of the bags were deployed. Can I swap my 99 airbag in to the 98 driver's seat or are they not compatible? I guess if worse comes to worse I can swap the foam and leather. The I30t also had heated seats so I was thinking of doing a heated seat swap later on down the road. Sorry for the long post.

 

The 98 and 99 use the same air bag.

the 96 and 97 use a different one.

 

That's great! I'll see if I can swap them out this weekend. I'm looking forward to having fresher padding as well. Thanks for the response.
