I'm new to honda-tech, so I don't know if there has been much info posted regarding stolen S2000 seats, but on other sites there are many, many threads.

The bottom line is that the seats have been stolen from hundreds of S2000s all over the country. The replacement parts for 2 seats cost $8,000-$9,000, and the replacement seat parts are assembled by whichever dealer orders them- so the quality of the replacement seats is poor.

I recommend a good alarm system, and locking down the seats.

To lock down the seats, there are several alternatives.

Custom S2000 seat locks are available, which use a special tool to remove them, or some owners install seat mounting bolts with different types of heads (like allen heads), hoping the thief won't have that type of tool with them. I've also seen permanent locktite applied to the OEM bolt threads, and I've even seen the OEM bolts tack-welded into place. Other solutions include using allen head or button head bolts and filling the heads with JB Weld; or stripping the heads on the OEM bolts, so they can't be removed.

I went with the Custom Locks:
