Swapping Evo X seats into an Evo VIII

Hey. I'm new here and I'm looking to buy an Evo VIII soon. I was looking at getting a 03 or 04 and I really dont like the black seats with that weird blue middle. I was wondering if it was possible to get the front and rear seats from an Evo X and swap them into an Evo VIII. I searched and found some info that said the front ones would fit with a little modification but I couldnt get any info on the rear seats. Is it posssible to get the rear seats done? And if there is moodification that needs to get done what do I have to do? And also what kind of modifications need to be done to the front ones to get them to fit. Thanks a lot for helping me out. I have been a huge Evo fan for years now and have finally decided to buy one!!
