Well, get some hood pins, and then put some master locks on the top.

I reccomend you just get a hella tight car alarm, Although I seriously doubt someone is going to be able to hoist your motor out without some neighbors and shit or you noticing.

Yea, that would be funny seeing someone jack on engine, but I'm sure it can happen. Sorry to hear you got broken into, I know how it feels, just had my Stereo and subs stolen, oh well, less weight in my car now. How did they break in? they ripped the back window latch on my car, replaced that for 2 bucks, almost have everything replace for about 30 bucks, except the subs, not putting any more in there.

I feel you too, had my stereo stolen 2 weeks after I got it cause my dad left the door to my car unlocked. Luckily I didnt have a sub yet or I am sure they would have tried to jack that too.

Whats cool about the sedan is you can lock the trunk popper from the inside, and in order to fold down the back seat from the inside, you need a key, so with that locked the trunk is pretty inpentrable.

naw i dont think they would steal the motor but i was more thinking that the would be mad an pour some shit in my motor what if they poured beer or etc where the oil goes an shit you know never underestaimate a bored crackhead

i left the door open so that was my fault kind of but im glad they didnt break any windows or ram a screwdriver in the keyhole over some sub an amp i always thought that was the worst part of getting your car broke into steal $400 worth of stuff an do $800 worth of body damage

im going to price alarms in the morning i guess i'll get the viper an i got a locking hood pin kit from summit part number mrg-1472
i must of looked out the window 20 times today

Hey man, i got the Viper 800 ESP and i got 2 door lock actuators, so now i got power door locks, and this thing comes with a shit load of sensors, including a hood sensor, so if anyone opens your hood, or anything, it will go off. I set my sensitivity a little High, but with the dual shock sensor, it does not go off by loud stereo systems or exhausts, but if you lean on the car it will start blaring! I got the hook up from one of my friends who got it for me at 350 installed! Well, get a god deal, and the Viper is the WAY TO GO!
