Here is the link to my last build. it was mostly a cosmetic build.

Well if you have been following my build you know what happened to me recently, if you do not know just click the link of my last build and read the last page.

Anyways in this build thread i will be finishing up my cosmetics and hopefully start on my internals.

Celestial Fc, I know where you're comming from, I hate thieves more than anything. At least they left the car and just took the wheels. In my case, they took everything...

The faces are peeling so I have to refinish them. it's 4 different locks per wheel and a much better alarm system and some other secrets that will keep them from getting jacked not taking any chances anymore.

Dude Im really scared, I just bought wheels... How did they get stolen? Did you have locks to begin with? What kinda locks now? where/when did it happen and where do you keep the car.

Im still running OEM nuts cause I cant decide whats a good set to get that will be hard for someone to have a key to. Was looking at rays or the R4o's.
In the end they will just take my car... I plan to add more theft to my insurance...



I already had some honda **** walk up to me and ask how much my wheels were. I just said "got them for a deal" and he replied with a shady look and said "Yea.... Thats what I need- a deal." I ******* canceled my payment and left when he was not looking... I dont think he saw my plate, I backed up and left from the back... Im gonna start straight up LIEING to people and say they are $500 replicas.

left my car on bricks.... thats how they got stolen.... i had project kics lugs. happened at my girlfriends apartments.

the best way to keep them from getting jacked is to slow the thieves down as much as possible. Loud *** alarm, multiple locks, hood lock so they cant get to battery to disconnect your battery. kill switch, tilt alarm.

theirs no such thing as to much security when it comes to your car. especially when its an old car and people want your ****.

when random people ask me how much they are i just say: i cant say sorry.

Stolen wheels is a big concern of mine... or, well.... Will be. I plan to eventually get some very nice wheels. Wouldn't a good thief have just about every lug key available for most aftermarket lugs?? I suppose there has to be some company that makes custom lug nuts with lug keys. Right?

Usually theifs wouldn't try and mess with a car with multiple locks unless they took the car itself and delt with the locks in a garage at another location. My advice to you is by Atleast two locks per wheels and invest in a alarm system. Proximity alarms might be annoying but they will save you car from getting stolen
