[QUOTE="badhoopty, post: 2509084, member: 572959"] heya guys, nice forum. i found the link to this thread from another site where a poor dude got all his stuff thieved, so i figured i'd register to add to the content and maybe prevent somebody getting ripped off. i personally think its best to appear like there aint anything to steal and nothing to hide. [B]limo tint?[/B] to me thats more tempting to thieves than no tint at all. if you cant see inside the vehicle, its AWEFUL tempting for some low life to smash the window out just to see whats inside... i prefer that my car can be looked into and nothing of value to be percieved... heres a deterrent i used in my fbody using a stock monsoon faceplate hot glued together and then just dremeled flat on the back: looks kinda stock right? [IMG]http://pics.montypics.com/badhoopty/2004-12-07/1102479142_7998cloaked.jpg[/IMG] but really there's goodies underneath: [IMG]http://pics.montypics.com/badhoopty/2004-12-07/1102479175_7998closed.jpg[/IMG] this last pic was before i glued the adj. knobs on. it just shows the depth: [IMG]http://pics.montypics.com/badhoopty/2004-12-09/1102649613_pb270301.jpg[/IMG] also, heres a few more pics of where/how i mounted my sirius reciever. since i dont use rear fill the rear speaker locations are choice spots to put hidden components.
