Yes, first thing to do is be sure mods are covered under your policy. Call your agent, make sure your policy pays ACV with no limit on customization.

The only reason why I am buying all these parts is because I will be moving to Miami sometime next year.. and I am putting alot of money into my car which Insurance will not cover.. so I am just a little worried.. thats all
Switch companies, there are many that will insure the car. Some have mileage restrictions, some do not.

I am interested in seat locks.. however them ripping the top trying to get the seats would probably be just as bad to replace...


robber: " ahh i cant get these seats.. o well.. lets trash the rest of the car..."

Anyway.. ia m down for getting a group together and buying seat locks.

if your looking into Lojack, also look into Directed Electronics (DEI, they make Viper among other brands of alarms) for their GPS based car tracking... it gives "you" more control in finding and recovering your car... cops may put things on the back burner, and lojack is radio based, not GPS (unless things changed recently). with this, you can have them kill the starter if its running and track it... i believe a backup battery is available as well if the car is not running... and can be wired into a Viper alarm triggering, if its also installed...

if someone really wants your car, they can just drag it onto a flatbed, and take it wherever they need to... best thing is to find a secure parking location...

thanks for the info..

I do have a secure parking.... only the employees can park the car and its open fro 7 to 10pm.. and when its closed.. a big gate comes down and closes the parking lot down.. my car is going to be with high end cars like.. Lambo and Mercedes. I will have a key of the parking lot so i can pick my car up.. I know the owner of that parking lot..
