Aftermarket companies need to make locks that have sleeves with key cylinders. I believe Porsche did/does that. Each lock is unique and if its made of forged titanium, it's not like you could break it off.

Cut the mufflers, pushed them back past the rear lip, and reweld. Pics to follow

Pics attached, did it because my rear bumper was heating up way too much as the exhaust gases were trapped underneath. Also, got rid of a resonance at around 1600 RPM inside the car.

locking lug nuts are real easy to take off :hide: i had to do it when i lost my key

They were OEM Honda locks, weren't they? I think those are easy to hammer a socket over and remove. I don't think it would be that easy with these, but who knows. I know Project Kics' Revo locking lugs are highly theft deterrent, but they're also almost $400 for 20.

That's how the RH locks I had worked when I had RH Evo's. But the inside shape was just a hex so it wasn't anything out of the ordinary.

I upgraded the transmission ground to 4ga wire and put in the battery I bought the other day.
