Is the mr Gasket kit any good? i mean do all the keys work with any setup? Or are they all different? I am planing on getting a set since all you hear on HT is that when a car is stolen they just reach up and pop the hood, unhook the batt, pull the alarm, rehook the batt and then they have themselves a new car. I want this kit so that i can not only keep my car but get rid of the hood release assembly and save me some weight. But i dont want it if all the keys match up. Any info would be helpful. some pics would also be nice.

 

does anyone have a picture of a hood lock? are they easy to insteall? i would really be interested in getting one thanks

 

Here's mine. Didnt take so long to install.

 

Try wiring a chain of Rare Earth electromagnets together in parallel and have a solenoid in a hidden location (or on a keychain) that cuts power to them. If that doesn't work, buy a corolla: nobody steals those.

 

Mr. Gasket locks are good (and cheap, only $19 at most places) and I had 2 sets.... one on my stock hood, one on my CF hood on the same car. When I changed hoods, I had to change keys as one would not work in the other lock, and vis versa - should apply to all Mr. Gasket hood locks.

 

they can still drill the hood locks out.

 

i used those for my CRX when i had it...theres always a way for a thief to take it, but i figure this was more difficult then reg. hood pins...

 

wait a minute?!?! so you have to unscrew them or somthing? when you want to open your hood?

Yeah unlock i and the hood can be taken off......

 

Where can you find these on the net? Ive been looking for a set forever now. I didnt know Mr gasket made some and for cheap it sounds like also.

 

i got mine for summit, going to replace my hood pins with locks, good layer to add on yo

nothing is fully theif proof, it's just more of a detterent.

 

so their basically installed like hood pins right?

 

hood pins are better. hood locks break easy. i dont even recommend pins, looks cleaner w/out

 

UAOU

 

Does the hood locks also prevent the hood from flying open on the freeway?
