I would second the suggestion to call back the insurance company and speak to someone of authority. $500 will not cover seats and rails without going into unsuitable or unsafe products thus creating a very dangerous situation.
Play the safety card with your insurance company.
If you don't get any satisfaction, I would consider working through the managerial hierarchy.
Contacting a lawyer and documenting the entire process (names, dates, etc. of calls, email, letters, etc.) is also a very good idea.
You're the victim of a crime. Don't let your insurance company victimize you a second time.
Good luck.

heed these words...
There is no difference between the GSR seats and the MR seats. Same goes for the SE and MR SE.
WTF!? Who the hell is your insurance company?
Mine were stolen last week and Progressive was getting ready to pay a $12,000.00 tab. After looking around at options I decided to save them some money and settle for some brand new all-leather Recaro sports for $1,300.00 each.
In return they waived my deductible, including fixing the internal scratched panels and the broken window and they're happy to do so and pay only a $ 4,261.27 tab rather than the $ 12,000.00 which it books as.
You need to call then up and talk to a manager. And then after you get made whole, you need to get a non-flybynight insurer.

Whoever the insurance adjuster was, they did not give you a fair amount for your seats. I would call them back and tell them that you cannot replace the seats for what they have paid and demand more. What they gave you is rediculous. I fight with insurance adjusters all day long. Talk to a supervisor, that usually works. GL.

I have a complete interior from my apex silver 2003 evolution. It was all removed in great shape when I built my NASA super touring series race car . Contact me if you would like to purchase it...Dave
Definitely call the insurance company, first, get a written quote from the dealer, then, tell them exactly how much it is going to cost to replace. Also, check Ebay or on here, you'll easily find a set of seats
If you have theft coverage then your insurance have to pay for your OEM parts at whatever cost period. I had my body shop quote the BBS wheels for insurance company, they had to pay for them at $950 each.

Some ******* decided to break into my 03 evo and steal my recaro seats and many other things. Have a solution and money to fix and replace everything, except the seats. I don't know if anyone has checked the price of the Recaro seats from the dealership...$7000 a god damn seat!!! I guess you really get what you paid for. Insurance only gave me $500 a seat, and not one junkyard has a good used pair. Any ideas/solutions for the fix?? I wanna get back in my pride and joy and rip some vettes and stangs ha ha!!! Anything ideas would help. Thanks
