so I just bought my recaro seats for my dc2. and I want to put them on the car but I know soon its gonna get stolen I don't have a garage although my car is park in front of the house I have the dual pager viper alarm on my car..how would you protect your seats from getting stolen? I have a civic before and someone been stealing my parts for atleast once every 2weeks...that's why I'm asking this question I don't want my seats to get stolen.

 

Not specific to seats, but the Audio / Security /Video forum has alot of good info on alarms and accessories.
Maybe you can cover them w/ some cheesey autobarn seat covers.

spot weld the seat bolts into place, along with other steps. youve already got the alarm, do that seat cover thing too.

 

I was thinking about spot welding it. but it might burn my carpet though. well its worth the try.

 

if they are black you'll be surprised how many people DONT notice them.

if they are anything but black and you are really worried. put a cheap seat cover over them or do like i used to do, put a trash bag over the top part when your not using them.


edit: your car will get more attention from the rims you choose to put on. so i would worry about that more.

 

First I would move to a house with a secure garage, then I would continue to modify my car!! I cannot stand to live in a place that has crime like that!! Cover your seats, and maybe get some security bolts for them??

 

Yeah, black seats aren't screaming out to everyone else like Red/Blue...or even those clean *** Yellow Recaros. I myself have a black Recaros and I feel pretty secure leaving my car places.

I have a removable steering wheel and a hub lock though, aside from an alarm and fuel cut, etc. I'd suggest those measures as well as anything else you can think of, there's no reason not to do what you can to protect it. Go for the gustoooo

 

Kodokan only sells these seat locks to S2K owners, but if you can get a hold of a set...

my seats are red. and they are hella clean.. ill give it a 9.5/10. maybe secure bolts..but where do I get them? I should add more security on my teg. I only have alarm and anti lock and I'm about the buy a club anytime soon..I juss want to install these seats..

Get a garage or give up IMO. The Bay Area is brutal, as you already know. There is no way I'd park a car with Recaros on the street, especially red ones.

 

maybe I should just put the seats whenever I use my integra. this is my 2nd car..but it just a hassle putting them on and take them off.. if I weld it do you think someone can still steal them?

 

You should just move now... My whole car was stolen, probably due to the red jdm recaros... stripped to the bone. I have since moved to a house outside of the city with a garage for the S2000.... Seriously if you are weary at all, don't put them in.

BTW I had a 2 way pager alarm, fuel cut off integrated into the alarm, separate fuel cut off, main relay cut off, windows and power door locks disabled when the car was not running..... if they want it, they will get it.

They'll probably just steal your entire car.

I've noticed a trend lately...if someone wants your stuff, they won't bother with risking their neck trying to break into your car and taking it apart--they'll just steal the whole thing and strip it somewhere else.

 

ye ai was being BLATANTLY eyeballed by some kid in a beat up 80s accord i THINK i couldnt tell cuz it was all falling apart

altho the guy did look like someone i know but i doubt he would do what he did...

the kid leaned right over to the passenger side trying look at the entire front end w/ his eyes wide open saying O SIT WTF??? and then he procedes to unbuckle his seatbelt to look towards the rear seats

i was like WTF?! this guy was weaving between both rear and front passenger side of his car and kept looking at mine

didnt seem to notice i had the "wtf" hand and face gesture,
