Has anyone ever put one in their Civic? Has anyone ever seen on installed in a Civic?

I feel like I've searched everywhere and there's nothing about these on a civic. I want to know before I plunk down the money for one...

 

why do you want it ?

 

I'd like to get one to prevent a thief from simply popping the hood open and disconnecting the battery.

 

but that would leave your motor vulnerable

 

How so? If a thief isn't able to open the hood, the motor should be relatively safe, no?

 

cut the cable :thinking i dunno i am just trying to give you the pro's and con's of it is all

 

best way i think is to get real hood locks that have locks built in

 

Thanks, yeah, that is a problem with cable ones but i figure that it will at least slow them down and it's got to be better than no lock at all. What about hiding the cable and key hole maybe? My main concern was whether or not the locking mechanism would fit in a civic but your input is appreciated.

Do you mean the locking external hood pin type?

 

yeah imagine a hood pin but without that little dinky pin.. and its has a keyhole fora key

 

my friends got locking hood pins on his car. He has a little circular key, like the type that goes in the top of a candy machine, and to get to engine, he has to unlock both locks before the hood will open. You can pop the hood, but it wont go up until you unlock both pins. Ever heard of these?

Sorry if it doesnt make sense, ill take pics tomorrow
