Wheres the guy that used a rivet gun to secure his car? I need some tips on some things.. he was talking about securing the hood line that went under the fender.. and he also did something with the door handles inside.. If your still around drop me a pm or post back here. I need help securing my car. TIA!!!!

 

i remember reading that dude's sheetmetal steup and someone told him he gets an A for effort, but too much work to put into a honda??? well his setup was pretty sick

 

yeah.. i want some pics so i can try to diy myself. I just dont know where to start

 

im curious as well.

 

Bought a sheet of galvanized steel and a rivet gun. Cut enough to completely seal the hood latch mech and lines. That prevented prying hands from reaching in the bumper. I was a victim and I WON. They just got through my grill only.

Took the same steel sheet and completely SEALED the door locking mechanism from the outside. That means, if u were to look down my window sill trying to slim-jim my ****, you see nothing but metal.

Since the door pannel was off, I CUT the door lock latch bar in half and bolted it to the door. I have door locking actuators that work with my alarm to take care of the locking/unlocked duties.

drilled horizontally, straight through the trunk release latch and stuck a metal peg in it. That prevents someone from using a hanger to pull the latch. the peg is easily removed by hand from the inside if u need to open the hatch buts its impossible w/o.

I replaced the rear key lock with a cylinder lock. no screwdriver and pliers getting in there.

I installed hood locks.

Shaved the door handles.

I mounted my amps in the rear panels. to you EG owners, behind the speaker grills.

I've 2 fuel cut-off switches in DISCREET locations. I couldn't stress more clearly to people who do that mod to NOT show that **** off. keep it a secret, but tell a non-loudmouth family member where it is just in case of emergency.

I painted the bling chrome 3" muffler W/OUT tip and associated piping flat black.

Painted the eye catching shocks flat black.

All this and I garage my car at night.

I suppose the car was flashy as it was, but as I wised up, I did what I could to make it less flashy. If I were to build a honda again, trust me it would be a plain jane car, kicking everyones *** with a bike rack on it. <IMG NAME="icon" SRC="https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emsmile.gif" BORDER="0">

I can say this now because the car is being parted out and being put to stock. Hopefully some of you can find some useful info from this post.


is this what yall are talking about.. I found it in my notepad

 

EXACTLY what I was looking for. Thanks Bigjon!!
