Where can i buy a hood lock

[deftsound]

Well since im putting a s/c in my car next week ive been thinking i should find a way to keep my hood locked so someone cant steal my s/c somehow. I dont exactly live in a crime free area and i was wondering what most people did in my situation?

I live in an apartment complex so i cant lock it up in a garage.

interestion question. i wonder if i should start to worry about that?

wouldnt be a bad thing to protect the charger and it would also serve double duty and i would not have to install hood pins. the pins have been sittin for 2 years. obviously i dont really want to drill my hood. lol!

Have your VIN etched/stamped into the SC and take a lot of pictures of it. That way your insurance wouldn't have any questions IF the worst case scenario occurs. Then just drive and have fun!!


The only way to do it would be to buy hood pins and in my experience, hood pins are a hassle. After a while the paint on my old hood started to spider web out from under the pins ...

couldnt you put a clear coat sealer after you put the pins in to keep the paint from spider webbing out ..??

i just want to be able to keep someone from prying under my hood and screwing my car up, ive already had my car keyed once this year...

What's the old addage? Locks keep honest people honest.

I highly doubt a hood lock will deter a thief from stealing your S/C. Besides, that's quite a bit of "work" to get it off, no? Why not just steal the whole damn car?

No, but it will slow them down. Maybe give me enough time to grab a 9mm

If I were going to steal a S/C it would be easier stealing the car

Just get a paging alarm with a hood pin. My appt is in range of my car and if the hood is opened my fob will go off, extremely loud and annoying beeping, which is good I guess. I dunno how far you are from your car, but that seems like the easiest thing to do. I think mine has a little less than a 1/4 mile range because I put the antenna under the dash so I wouldn't have to see it.
