hoodpin/key locks (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33648&item=2424853862)
seems like a good idea, although im not sure about how much security it will really add.

heres another one i saw on ebay. i checked the dei site, but i dont see much help there about it. how exactly does it work and install?
dei hood lock (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3037429302&category=14934)

So, it's basically a lock for your hood, and/or a secondary key lock for your trunk? Sounds interesting. I don't know if I'd really go for it (I've always been told, if someone wants in, they'll get in- locks are designed mostly to keep honest people honest.) I guess it depends on how concerned you are about another break-in attempt. If you're really thinking about it, at least go for some sort of lock with a tumbler mechanism (your standard jagged key type) Those pin style locks aren't very effective- When we were younger, I was witness to my cousin (no joke) successfully pick the lock on my grandfathers computer case- with his teeth!! (Computer cases have the same type of pin lock) If there's one thing I've learned about security for an automobile, it's: Park in a well lit and easily seen spot, hide any valuables, and, most importantly, cross your fingers :frown: There are just some people that, sadly, don't give a rats'-ass for the personal property of others.

thats true. i was also thinking that having those hood locks would just cause more attention to my car. having locks is kinda saying i have something good and i dont want it stolen. being a sleeper is probably the best type of security. guess ill try that crossing fingers thing

I always thought hoodpins were pointless unless you're on a track and needed that extra 10 seconds. But hey if you're goin for looks why not. :) :) :)

strodda, where did you get that front grille?

if you have a cf hood then yes. if not then just dont do anything because it will just draw extra attention
