    I make it easy, currently running without a driver side grill.


    Heard about lips getting stolen. Actually when I loaned my car to a friend she said she came out and half of it was hanging there, she's driven it enough to not hit stuff so I think sometime tried pulling it off. But I don't know if someone would take the lights and bumper, would be easier to take the whole car and strip it in a more secure area.

      If a thief comes on an e30 board and reads how much we low ball each other for parts they won't bother to steal e30 parts.

          What kind of neighborhood do you live in where they're stealing e30 grills and headlights?

              Honda parts are still more profitable, those guys still pay Gs upon Gs for B18 swaps
              I can run Auto Checks on VINs for tips/donations:
              PM me VIN(s) and I'll get you ALL the public recorded info that I have available.

                    That happened to me a few years back. Left my car in an underground car park in Montreal overnight. When I came back in the morning, the is lip was gone

                      People are such assholes. Happened to my basketweave center caps. Now I just stock up on them anytime I find them cheap.

                        who cares about the lights, no one is gonna take those.
                        more concerned some asshole will slice my vert's top and try to take my fishing gear or culinary knives.

                        or my wheels, but my car is pretty low, have to use factory jack to get a lowprofile jack under it lol, but a few people could pull up on a fender and do the same

                        i do know if someone tries to steal the car it will soon overheat, random switch to turn on the cooling fan since m50 swap, so they will be left with a steaming vert spilling coolant everywhere...yay
