My Basic Security For My Regal

[565bbchevy]

Since I plan on driving my Regal when it's done to work and do some running around etc. I just wanted some deterrents for your average would be thief.
I don't live in a bad area and my car won't be outside overnight but I figured a little caution can save some grief if something did happen.
So first I bought a new Club since my old one I use for bleeding brakes, and then I added a battery cut off switch under the hood to kill power to the car and then to make the hood itself secure I added some hood locks to it. So probably under a $70 for everything.

IMO, the column collar would be best, then a starter kill for extra measure. The problem is that, with a starter kill relay alone, they've already broken in and broken the column cover. You need the steel to keep them out of the plastic. I think Kirban's still sells them.

if you blacked out that switch it'd disappear into the hvac

IMO those column locks lock terrible and for the area I live this will more than adequate IMO.
And say someone did get in and break my column they still would have no power from the battery to do anything.

Really it won't matter what color it is since you have to break into the steel hood to turn it and that's assuming you even know where it's at.

From experience, the club can be beaten very quickly. But im originally from brooklyn where auto theft was a major in most schools

i installed an ignition switch cutout (i used a fuse i can pull and take with me)

I cant put a column lock because of my tach but i would if i could

I would like to see someone make a quick release adapter for the stock steering wheel. Thieves can assume it's in the trunk but it's one more step for them to have to jump thru by breaking into the trunk first before they are able to attempt stealing your ride. Typically they go for the "low hanging fruit". Flashing light on the dash works as well. My friend who used to sell home security systems always said the sticker on the door was the best deterrent.
