Default Replacing seats

I had my seats stolen last night and I am looking at replacing with the Bride Euro II. However I was curious what the opinions may be on how this would affect resale later on? Thanks.

Insurance is footing the bill however buying the Bride seats will allow for me to negate any deductible. There is a substantial price difference between OEM seats and aftermarket and honestly I think I like the Brides better

Damn do people steal seats for their S2ks or do they steal them for their civics?

bride seats are nice, but they might mark your car salvage title.

Why would they salvage the car?

The car wouldn't be salvage for stolen seats and cut in the soft top.
I personally think that the buyer of the car would determine the sale value of the car.
If it was me, 20, I would love the Brides and pay you what your asking, vs a 45 y.o man who thinks they are too stiff and prefers OEM.

Buy whatever you like now so you can enjoy. Don't worry too much down the line. Like other said, you will find different buyers with different taste. Not all buyers will like silverstone .

It will definitely decrease resale value.

Replace with red/black S2000 seats and the resale value will INCREASE.
