Default Swapping seats in your S5

So I am constantly coveting the thrones that are installed in the S6 and S7's. Is there any chance that the seat rails would match an S5 and could be easily swapped out? Just wondering as I think I would seriously consider the cost to do it. The diamond stitching is awesome. Even the new S3 in Europe has some really sharp seats.

Anyone have any experience with this sort of thing?

New seats can easily run in to the thousands of dollars! I know a bunch of the B7 RS4 guys wanted the European RS4 seats and those could easily be in $3,000-4,000 range so I assume the S6/7 seats would easily be that much, maybe more.

You might be better off trying to just buy the leather "skin" rather than the entire seat or even having some custom reupholsters made...

Hmm, didn't consider the re-skin option. Where do you even begin to find... nevermind, I'll google it.
