no car is unstealable. if thieves want it bad enough they'll get it. you can only throw inconviences their way. put an alarm on there, get lojack, use an autoloc, get a quick release steering wheel, use a hidden fuel cutoff, take out the battery. just some ideas for you.

Insurance, Insurance. Insurance. If someone wants it bad enough they will get it. Unfortunate, but there is people out there who don't believe in working for something they want. They find it much easier just to steal it. W/Insurance you can be reimbursed if your investment is ever damaged or stolen. Just understand your policy, know what it entails, what is covered and what you want covered and what categories a "loss" falls under.

Aftermarket parts, such as nice forged rims, might require a rider as they are far more expensive than stock rims and may not be covered under a standard policy.

This has little to do with the Integra specifically.
Moved to Audio & Security.

yes. nothing like a billion alarms going off on accident to make you rethink that brilliant idea. I wonder how long a battery would last with all those connected.

the tradeoff of my ears bleeding from an accident outweigh that of thieves getting away with my car.

with all those piezo sirens, you'd be surprise how long it would take to drain a battery.
