According to the links above 2nd row buckets and
bench were available.
Aluminum rear lift gate, rims, hood and front bumper. It also states the front seats were thinner and provided the 2nd row passengers more leg room.
A quick look didn’t show a mention of the aluminum 2nd row seat though.

2nd row seats have aluminum frames so they cannot short out in an accident as the battery and emergency disconnect is underneath them.

Aluminum is a conductor. Can you explain?

Me? Explain electricity? Not on your life! LOL
Brett @BG1988 and Gene @RebelBelle both told me about the seats and Gene is a fireman and told me about the disconnect but I do not remember the details of that conversation anymore, was a couple of years ago.
yeah it will but you need to change out a few other items i suggest going to a salvage yard and pick up all the rear end parts inc the bumper cover, tail lamps and d-pliers..
it has a slightly differ spoiler it might not fit the other d-piler

Aluminum is non-ferrous and doesn’t heat up when abrasion is applied. Obviously sitting on a steel seat frame or folding in down a standard steel seat can get the steel to spark.
If a hybrid battery is malfunctioning and it’s off gassing, aluminum seat frames are good. Won’t help if you turn a seat heater on that operates off electrical resistance to heat up LOL.
