How about replacing your stock screws with:
Tamper proof screws
Screws with a rare/unusual head pattern

One of the reasons theives can get our lips or fascias is because they can walk into any hardware store, buy a cheap screwdriver, and get to work unscrewing our lips.

I think a way to prevent this would be to replace the stock screws with tamper proof screws, the kind that you normally see in bathrooms. They are usually made out of stainless steel and have teeth shaped so that you can only screw them in. Realistally there is no way in hell that a theif can remove these suckers. Anyone ever tried drilling a 1 inch deep screw made out of stainless steel with a hand drill? Well lets just say its nearly impossible, and how do you get a hand drill under the car? Only problem with using tamper proof screws is you can't get them out either.

Another way is to use screws with an unsual head pattern. One option I've seen are screws with a star formation style head. These are probably the better alternative since you can only unscrew them with the right tool. Additionally since simple crooks don't go carrying around a huge assortment of tools you can rest pretty safe.

You don't even have replace all the screws, just a replace a few.

These were just some thoughts I wanted to share. I've been trying to think of ways to prevent my front end from getting jacked when I get it installed and these are some I came up with. Anyone else got some ideas?

Another way is to scrape some curbs and driveways, that way they dont want it.

you need "clutch drive" screws. Like the ones they use to hold together stalls in public bathrooms.
