A cheap seat lock alternative I made.
do what I do, some of those bolts go directly to the bottom of the car.. I believe atleast 2 of them... Get an extra long bolt, and thread them all the way to the bottom and put a nut at the bottom of the car.. only drawback though is it would be a pain in the ass to remove your seats since you have to jack up the thread. I will still buy those kodokan locks to complement my long bolt extensions..
Also, GET an ALARM. better than having nothing. I'm putting everything on my car short of an attack dog inside to fend off thieves..

I think when they are not able to take your seat, they will just damage them like how they slash the top.

Throw a little thread locker on the nut on the bottom and they just won't be able to figure out why they can't remove them and potentially not damage the seats for spite.
Like others have said, what if you need to remove your seats? Seems like given the price of current seat locks on the market I'd rather just spend the money. They aren't very expensive, and if the day comes to chip out that epoxy you'll probably wish you'd just bought real seat locks.

ALSO, those kodokan bolts only go for the front holes, they are not for the back (I asked him directly). So you get 4 bolts, for the front section of your seats. The back bolts are a bit bigger.
I split the difference between doing nothing and seat locks. I used a black round headed allen bolt and filled in the hole with black silicone. It would take a pick and some time to get out the silicone, but it is eventually removable. I did it right after I bought the car and did not want to "ask" the wife to buy ANOTHER thing for my toy.
