    I made it, baby! I gotz mad plastic skillz!!

    Seriously though, I designed it and my friend, who makes prototypes for an industrial design company, made it in his shop for me. They've got 10 (I think) CNC machines and lots of really cool stuff back there! My favorite part is that we were able to bevel where the starter button fits!

    Hey, I may not have many friends, but I chose the ones I've got wisely!

    Always lock the car, using the aftermarket alarm, with a proximity sensor. Although, the sensor is sometimes a pain in the butt. If you stand too close to the car, it will start chirping at you. Touch the top and the alarm goes off.

    I also have a very HighEnd Stock stereo , and leave nothing in the car worth stealing.

    I used to leave mine unlocked most of the time, and I often left it parked with the top down at UTA (although I always parked in the parking garage). I had a stock stereo, my radar detector was bolted to a stainless steel bracket that bolted to the windshield header (a thief might have broken it, but I'd have bet against him actually stealing it!), and was pretty much invisible unless you were looking for it anyway.
