today i got some great looking silver painted foglight mesh grill
covers installed (replica ones since factory only comes in blue
or black). anyway, i have a feeling that this thing will be a
easy target for theives to steal at malls and stuff.

i want to make the screw on the mesh hard to take off, or
even permanently un-removable unless the screw head is
drilled off.

is there anyway to access the fog light bulb from the
bumper without removing the fog light assembly? if so,
i am planning to drill out the phillips head so that it is
unremovable.

thanks
ken

I was also thinking the same thing, I really would not be to worried about them. If anything just strip the screw, but dont forget if you strip it you cant get them off either. try getting some kind of hex bolt or something intead of a screw driver..

Sears, i do believe, sells a tool that lets you get out screws where the head has been stripped. Can't remember the name but that guy on TV who builds houses was hawking the product.
It seems to work pretty good - check it out and if it does work then strip the head. Don't think it was an expensive tool.

yea I was thinkin that too.. I dont have the covers but they sure do look easy to steal. And at a couple hundrend bucks for the sti covers i would be very mad if they got ripped off.
