hello, I'm Matt and new to the forum.
I had a 95 LS 400 for 5 yrs, loved it, put 180k + on it and have now moved into a new RX330.
Owned it 12 hrs and was not aware of the headlight theft rampage. came out in the mornng (was parked on the upper west side in Manhatten) and found a botched theft of the passenger side light. it was left dangling in front of the bumper, guy at the body shop said they left it because they new they brok it getting it out.
he also confirmed what another in this forum said, that a thief who knows how to do it can get them out in 30 seconds a piece, with less damage to the vehichle than was done to mine. these guys wrenched the fender so bad it has to be replaced!
I dont think waiting for the manufacturer is going to benifit anyone in the short term and while I love the concept of vigilanti-ism i.e. razor blades, i'm sure this would do more harm than good.
question - grill guards, does anyone know where to find a decent looking one? the ones i've seen are large and fairly gruesome bars that dominate and ruin the look of the front end.
thanks in advance to any help and if your in any mid or large city, my understanding is you would do well to take notice of this rising trend.
best of luck and have a great day.
Matt
