Hey guys im a new owner of a 96 ek and i want to have a carbon fiber hood in a few months on my ride , do any of you guys use or have seen anti theft hardware used to keep bolt on items like a carbon fiber hood secure ?

 

use hood locks?

 

Your trying to get thieves to not be able to steal the hood...or get into the engine bay?

 

Oh yes im talking about keeping the hood iteself from being taken off the car easy... If a punk tries to steal it i want him to have a hard time

 

Reverse slotted screws instead of OEM bolts (similar to what you see in public bathroom stalls) for the hinges, and keyed hood pins are a good start. Next step would be a car alarm with hood pin(s) properly mounted. You could also have some kind of identifying information (Name, nickname, last for SSN, last 7 VIN) cut into the clear coat somewhere discrete to identify it as yours if it does get stolen.

 

Some sort of tracking alarm system helps here.
If its in your budget.
Garage your car? Not everyone has one...

 

Thanks guys for the info . I will make sure to purchase that type of hardware and a quailty alarm with gps before i do any mods to my car ...
