New seats and top to replace the one they cut to get in, run in the neighborhood of $10k. That is close to, if not more than, the blue book value of many S2000s.
How are they worth so much? I can get a set of aftermarket brides for 3k and a new top is like 1k, stock seats can't be worth that much I see them used all the time for about 1k I would never let my insurance total my car if the seats were stolen just work out a deal to get aftermarket seats.

They are 3500 each from honda, they have to piece them out, top retails for 1100, u cant compare aftermarket with oem parts.

Heres the link to Majestic Honda, they don't sell the seats as a whole but as an assembly of parts

And those prices do not include dealer labor at $90 an hour.

I hope this thread doesn't jinx me now that I voted "No, so far so good."

Need a third choice: "They tried, but the alarm and/or seat locks stopped them".

I fall under that one.

Haha, I was reluctant to even open this thread for fear it would be tempting fate.
