how much do they cost brand new?
I'm not kidding. Look at some old "Stolen Seat" threads and see what people have paid. It's often over $10,000 to replace the 2 seats and the vinyl top. It can also take a month or more to get the replacements from the dealer.
The seats are made by Recaro, they cost a small fortune, and they can be stolen in around 3 minutes. That's why they are so popular with thieves.

I was at another shop over the weekend, where I spied a set of S2k seats in a Civic.
The owner was very quick ( the 1st thing from his mouth) to boast that he bought them new, all assembled from Honda. I then explained, that's odd, Honda only sells them in pieces. Covers, cushions, rails, all seperately. Surely you must be mistaken. He insisted he bought them new from honda assembled.
I never accused anyone of stealing them, But when the 1st thing out of his mouth is "I bought them new assembled" I'm more than a little suspicious.
I hope the bastard thieves get busted, and you get some seats quickly.
