sounds like you should debadge your car

i would guess that the easy ones would be lip, tow hook, badges.

my uncle got his stock muffler cut off and stolen. He actually caught the guys while they were just finishing up but they jumped into their get away vehicle.

as for my car, i don't go to shady places- i generally dont go anywhere at all. I do have 2 real type r emblems that are lightly superglued and siliconed in, so no one will jack me off - though I hope no one will try because then it won't be pretty.

not stolen from me but i've heard lots of cases where lip kits and eyelids get stolen, basically anything that's easy to take, will get stolen. even wheels.

The only thing theyre stealing from the exterior of my ride is my <U>style</U>.

Uh....juuust kidding. (My ride is fugly if you ask me.)

Havent had anything stolen yet, and Im 1 street away from the Ghetto. We have all the NYC rejects in my city...I about to hire some1 to watch my car...because i know Im running out of luck.

I think Ill invest in some locking lugs, alarm, and a nice secure garage. Maybe a sleeping bag for the back seat
whats the world coming to....

Because some people put those 'fancy' tow hooks on their cars that supposed to be for track use. They come off rather easily if you have a socket wrench.

Serves them right I guess, lol.

The whole car....

JDM Honda emblems are taken off cars in Manassas or if your inside a place for too long and you have a nice Honda they jack the car up and take anything they can get. Or even the whole car. Had a friend who lost all 4 rims in stereo and his wing while he was drunk in a friends house down there. luckily there are very few ummmm..... people in Colorado who steal Hondas or Honda parts...
