i dunno i dont like to be parked out far alone...ur car is easier to spot.
and well i dont live in the best of neighboorhoods.. where im from some people steal those chrome caps on your rims... a friend of mine got his antenna stolen... and another one his licence plate cover...plus i heard a about a lot of people getting their car spotted and stolen. internet or even the guy who steals it keeps somehow driving past your car or ur house. i rather take precautions. plus i never say what mods i have online. or what are my mechanical projects much.
so yea.. i dont like parking far away cause it makes ur car "spottable" and people are pricks. plus i dont like walking much haha

yes i do.. but an alarm doesnt help much.
for example. a couple of guys at clubprotegequebec.com had their msp or regular protege stolen...some had alarms...some had clubs...some had both.
its easy to steal a car if you know how to do it.
if someone really wants to steal ur car hes going to manage.
i think the best thing to protect ur car is having a club, a brake and gas pedal lock, a kill switch, a boomerang alarm, and a big ass pitbull in the back seat.
but well even with all that they can steal ur car with a tow truck. no one worries about a cars alarm going on on a tow.

yea but anyway a car is nothing but a box of metal... high 5 for insurance if they get stolen....lol
honestly i always hear a car alarm ring and i never bothered to look if a car was getting stolen... people dont give a s***.
sometimes my alarm rings for no purpose... and i dont always hear it.

here are pics from the back of the car... i just installed the wing a week or 2 ago so its still primed. and its a new trunk painted by myselfi think i did a pretty good job. it was a 03.5 trunk full of unnecessary holes which i had to fill. first time i did that kind of work. pretty satisfied.
also painted my emblems flat black.

im looking for a 2003 rear lip btw. so if anyone knows where i can find that give me a shout !
Looking good man. I don't mind the side moldings, since the door handles are black too. Helps it tie together a little...
As for the rear lips, you can check ebay. I see them come through on there every now & again. IIRC, they usually run ~$175 (I don't remember what shipping was).
Also, alarms don't stop s***. Everyone hears them going off all the time; unless someone acts really stupid/suspicious, no one thinks twice. My kill switch only stops people from driving my car away. I don't have any audio system in my car for a reason; cause I live in the hood. haha Hopefully I'm moving out of the hood in August, tho! Movin on up!!!

I lived in a nice neighborhood but it was really weird like 2 blocks away was section 8 homes basically the projects they broke into my car and stole my factory radio I mean seriously my factory radio but the jokes on them the cd player didn't work
Factory radios are worthless. Not even worth a single rock on the street... Stupid crackheads. At least the homeless, crackheads around here understand street value... Hence why I don't worry about my HU, since it's faceplate is completely cracked/f'ed up. lol They will break a window to get a few $ of change, tho...
