OK just to let you guys now this is the second time this month that something has been ripped off from my car, while it was sitting in my driveway. First my CDs were stolen, but that was my fault for leaving the door open. Also that nite I never took the face off my stereo, but yet they didnt even attempt to take that [Image: confused.gif] So this morning I wake up, look out the window at my feshly washed TC, to see the Turbo Coupe badge missing, what gives?? I know whoever took has no use for seeing as how I own the only TC in the neighborhood. Whats the point of stealing one friggin badge???
Sorry bout the rant, it just seems like theres some kids out there that just wanna mess with my car for no reason.
O ya, could anyone recommend a good paint for the extra piece of trim I have? Ive gotta paint it to match the car.
Thanx
Anthony

If it is a small paint job like touch up, I use testers model car paint which works really good, If it is a larger job I would use Ace Hardware or Krylon.

Chris, it is a pretty small job, ill look into the local hobby store and see if they have my color...Thanx

Tony, Ive never really looked into a car alarm, but thats a good idea now. Im tired of this crap...Any suggestions of make/model or should I get it proffesionally done if I decide to get one?
Thanx all

You could always ground the car to a high amperage transformer-- lites out.

There are alarms on ebay that come with FM pagers to alert you when it goes off...2 or 3 times that pager woke me up in the middle of the night and the alarm wouldnt have. Alarms do scare off the bad guys, but those pagers give you the added bonus of knowing when someone is messing with your car from up to 1/2 a mile away.

Here is one similar to the one I have. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...gory=14934

Matt, I live right over by Start High School, Im right across the street from Bowman pool if you know where that is. We should meet up some time.

Ill probably invest in an alarm if I really feel the need. I mean Id love to have one, but Ive got some money issues right now [Image: mad.gif]

Wow, that's odd. Same thing happened to me too! I don't know anyone else in the neighborhood with a TC and the passenger side badge in the trim is missing. ONLY that one. It's annoying but what can I do?
