The only thing I leave in the car anymore is my CD's and I burn copies so even if they break in to steal those all they get is burned CD's.
I want an alarm that will page me but the wife keeps saying no way. She knows I am going out the door with my .45 if it goes off.

woke up this morning and got a note from police officer that my car was break in.... it seems like someone trying to get the navigation, but i didn't. the nav cubby was opened.
contacted insurance and they told me i have to pay deductable which is $500. however, here is my question.
my damages are
- driver side windows
- inside door penel(the black plastic one) was poked with some sort of knife
- window tinit...
- sparco seat is all over the glasses
- little dents on door
dealer quoted me $470 parts+labor just for the window replacement, but one body shop quoted me $350.
however, will insurance company covers inside plastic panel ,tints and the seat?
I'm pretty sure it will be over $500 with renting cars and such....
also how much does it cost for the inside plastic door panel?

When I read the title I thought you wanted someone to help you set up an insurance scam. I was totally in. Then, I read your post and my brain imploded. Now I can't even wipe my own backside, much less help you screw over a major insurance company. 
Give the guy a break...from his sentence structure and grammar, it sounds like English isn't his first language.
My Z was vandalized last month. They didn't even get into the car from what I could tell. Just smashed out the driver's side window. $480 replacement from SafeLite. They even come to you to do the install. Biggest bummer was that I had to replace the drivers side window motor less than a month before (another $600). So there goes my Rota wheels for now...

Definitely doesn't seem like a native-English speaker. Surprise everyone jumps on the bashing bandwagon....yet again.
Always a shame to see this happen. The car looks pretty bad. I would assume that insurance will cover this though (assuming you have theft/vandalism or full coverage). I would be concerned with the door if I were you. Looks like it may have been scratched/dented up quite a bit. Keep us posted with what the insurance company says.

Doesn't look like the seat is damaged. Broken glass can be cleaned up. Unless the seat is cut it's not going to get replaced by insurance. Being that it is aftermarket it will probably not get replaced by insurance anyway unless you have a special rider in your policy to cover upgrades.
suede doors
I have over 200 colors of suede you could do it in I suggest alcantera it has a better run to it and last alot longer. I have had it in my car for two years now and it still looks and feels like it did new.
