My brother has his under his drivers seat. I know that its there and I can't even find it half the time. When they installed it they cut a slit in the carpeting and put in this little plastic piece and mounted the switch in there. Real stealth lol

I hate leaving my notch anywhere. I usually don't, but I met up with the girlfriend and her cousins once for lunch at this bar (during the day). I don't have a kill switch, so I took a coil wire with me, and I disconnected some other crap before I left. The car cranked, but wouldn't start. They can still tow the thing, but whateva.

i got one, but im not telling!!!!!! anywhere is a good idea, most thefts aiming after a 5.0 will be petty and will probaly run after first bad crank attempt....and do you think 5.0's are on the theft list. around here in orlando civic get broken into and stripped and unles they have the super rare VTEC engines!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!AHHHHHHHHH, they just take the seats and rims.

If you want to make sure no one steals your car the first thing you should do is remove the rods that have the chrome thingy on them, that shows you if the car is locked or unlocked. Every good theif of 5.0's knows that all it takes is a screw driver through the handle to push that up, and boom there in the car.

If you put a kill switch anywhere its all you need (unless you label it kill switch) a theif wants to be in and out so if its not starting they most likly will just boot scoot and boogy.

just wire a toggle switch into the fuel pump relay under the driver switch. just put it in the control side. you can then be as creative as you want on placement of the switch.
