Kodokan only gives you four locks (front bolt replacements only) so they come out to $15 apiece. They are trapezoidal though, so locking vise-grips should have a harder time grabbing them. Regardless, the Gorillas look like a good alternative especially if you can't get in touch with Kodokan.

You can have kodokans in the front and make these for the two in the back. Dont forget to take out the seats and vacuum the carpet really good before putting on the seat locks/loctite AND engrave/mark your seats while you have them out of the car and take pictures of the engravings/marks.

Hey there s2000 peeps. I have been trying to get for the longest time some seat locks or something to keep my seats locked down with a bolt that comes with a key. I will say there are many different types of bolts and techniques that could be used. I did a lot of research and reading and even PM'ed Kodokan because he got McGard to custom make some seat lock bolts for our cars.
The solution that I found and I think would totally work would be these lock bolts. They are made by Gorilla so I know they should be descent. Anyways what I suggest that I want to do for extra security would be to use these bolts then use a nut the can screw on from the bottom of the car. That would almost be impossible for a thief to take out the bolt then the nut. Or vise versa. But you get what I mean. Plus if your car is slammed like mine there's. No way someone's hand can go under your car or would you be able to even see the bolt. The reason why I'm posting these is because I've tried numerous times contacting Kodokan for the locks he got made and i had no luck. I don't care because that man is super busy.
So I decided to do some research and this is what I found. I'm going to order some and put them on with a locking bolt under the car as well and will have pics and reviews over the fitement and the product it self.
The Gorilla Lock Bolts $10!!, longer in length so you can use a nut from the bottom :-) You might want to get a washer to that fits.

Kodokan's McGard made lock bolts $60. These are shorter in length to. But still bad ass!
So how did the Gorilla bolts work. What mods if any arerequired? Thanks. I appreciate your reply. Peter
