Ive been thinking about ways to prevent seat theft. Im definitely going to do a custom seat lock. Ive also thought about removing the lock switch on the door so they cant open the door but that would be a safety issue So worse case, cut top and maybe vandalize the car cause they cant get in...

The best way to stop theft is to do what im doing. NOT PUTTING OEM S2K SEATS IN MY CAR. Not everyone goes around stealing brides or recaros out of s2ks.

One way of preventing your seats to be taken is by using 13mm or 15mm head bolts to bolt them down. Using Hex key heads also works. You can get them from Mitchells Welding Supply by THE FALLS. I know its not full proof but its worth a try.
