Perhaps. I am sure you are right that some people would discard the OEM seats in favor of racing seats but I suspect a larger number would probably retain the OEM with the thought in mind they could reverse the process when they decided to sell the car. Really I have no way of knowing but I can say I have read a number of newspaper articles that were scanned into this site during the first few years of production that said S2000 stolen seats were a hot item due to Civic ricer demand.
I am going to be purchasing aftermarket seats very soon. I will sell my OEM seats because I dont ever plan on selling the S. It is my first brand new car, and I intend to keep it forever (My step dad is the original owner on his '69 Camaro). I do agree that some seats are stolen, but they usually end up on Ebay. The quality of the leather isnt awesome in our seats.

BTW...Im going to be selling my 02 black seats for $400.

You are correct that there were a lot of thefts early on. I think the "rage" for them has died down.
