Default Alternative Seats for 03 S2k

If I were to say drop Leather Sparco Torino's in the car, would these seats be less likely to be stolen?

Also, would these be street legal?

Oh and would it decrease the value of the car?

about getting stolen. i dont think they fuss for those like they fuss over oem ones.

street legal: IDK good question

and the value of the car would go down from a car dealers point of view, but it wouldnt go down from an enthusiast point of view..

u know aftermarket seats are usually a plus as long as they're jdm.

but thats just my .02

i think they'd want them even more? there not gonna be like "well there not OEM, i guess i wont take those $600 seats that will probably look better" so get a hard top, or weld ur seats down!

I prefer original S2000 seats.
If I look to buy another S with aftermarket seats then .... I think it would decrease the value of the car.

I went the 2006+ seat route when I got mine stolen. Supposedly they are less desirable from a thieves perspective and they are actually very supportive/comfortable and wear better than the earlier ones (although I do miss the sporty look of the hole in the headrest).

i would guess that you might get less heat, then again if they see aftermarket seats they might start looking to take any other aftermarket parts you may have.

As far as seats go, I will always reccomend Brides, only cause I've had the best experience with them vs. sparco, recaro, spoon, etc.
