J/W...if & when someone does decides to take my seats without me catching them...let me rephrase that, without me chasing them down with a butcher knife.. Knowing that my car is now 10 yrs old (AP1, 75k), & could possibly be totaled by insurance. Do I have that option of it not being totaled? Or would I just have eat it up & not report it in order for my car to remain a clean title?.. I know these seats are ridiculously expensive & I'm guessing its gotta be around that halfway mark on my car's value now. It just came to thought since it's nevered happen to me before & damn! my car's 10 yrs old now.

Jokes aside, sadly this might actually be the best option in some circumstances.

^ Actually S2k seats on CL are very affordable. ranging frm $400-$800. That's a steal! And I've been attempted at times to buy some to replace my 10 old seats. But just out of respect to other S2k owners & esp the ones that get theirs jacked, I don't. I'll mostly likely go after market anyways once the seats can give no more in the wear & tear department.

also, unfortunately, when they total out a car for this reason it leaves a clean car with an unnecessarily dirty title. that will get some people (me in particular) to walk away from a potential buy when it comes time to sell.

Well looks like no total (no what I wanted anyway), and Geico is going to replace with some 24,000 mile seats (my 2002 S has about 27,000 miles) and get a used top. If leather and convertible top look old, they will be reupholstered or replaced....but Geico is also coming through by allowing me to have poor quality bodywork (from a previous seat theft 3 years ago, and fixed at one of their preferred shops) redone as well. So I feel ok...the first time it happened I felt like my car was raped though...
