Stolen Seats!! Any Ideas

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

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.

Even on Mitusbishiparts.com the seat back plus cushion list for a combined $4700, thats pretty crazy. I would definitely try sending that link to the insurance company. Would never have guessed these are so expensive
