OK, i have a 2000 hatchback civic and my cd deck was totally ripped out. All i see is the cables, and there is a square hole cuz the cd installation kit was all ripped out. Bunch of fukin bastards (excuse my language, just a lil pissed). Does anyone know how much the damage will be? cuz the sides are a lil scratched, they didn't even break the window, they obviously done this a couple of times. It was a clean get away.... anyway... just for the installation kit and stuff how much would it cost??? thanks

Do not feel bad, it could have been worse-
My buddy had three audiobahn 10s in his altima, in dash dvd player, 10 farad audiobahn cap, and 1400 watt mono amp, well he totaled that car about a year ago. he was drunk driving when he totaled, and a couple months beofre this he broke his axle, because he slid into a curb trying to impress his ex girl, and her friend by taking a turn too fast. It sucked because the first time he wrecked he had ACE zeus 18"s, and then he got it back with his stocks on, so it looked weird, and then he totaled it a couple months later.
Anyway he deserves no sympathy, so far, however he ended up getting a two door accord. he then removed the rear seats, and built a box/enclosure that filled where the rear seats were, perfectly, i mean perfect. It must have weighed like 1o0lbs!!! It had the three sub pointed strait ahead, so when you put your seat back it would give you a massage basically. He also installed his kenwood in dash dvd player, top of the line might I add, and mounted the mono amp and ccap ontop of the box.
The thing is i spent more than a work day helping him dyno matt his car and install everything. Man it sounded so sweet, the only thing he needed was the 4 channel amp for his audiobahn components. I remember thinking man this is so sweet, while busting my knuckles and what not, while intalling it. Well he finally gets his four channel and he installs that himself, and 5 days later....
His dad wakes him up at 5:30, and he goes out to his car to find the passenger window shattered, and the entire box gone, as well as HU. They pulled out a 100lb box, with three 10s in it, with everything else mounted on top. Oh yeah he screwed the box to the car itself, but evidentally it did not matter. The only thing they did not take were the components.
But there is a happy ending-so do not let the bastard discourage you.
he now has-
-panasonic HU-not dvd, but still nice-with xm radio as well
-viper alarm
-two 13.5"w6s-enclosed separately pointing up in his car-the screws holding the sub to the enclosure are anti theft screws and he bolted each box from the inside to the car, and stripped them as well!!!
-forget the name of his amps, but he has a 4 channel, and 1500 watt mono amp
- and is actually as we speek getting ready for fiberglass!!!
His front and rear windshields leak when it rains and he bumbs his system!!!!

nah, i didn't have an alarm and i didn't have the faceplate off.. it was actually my bro's car, i have the 01 civic... WHY THE HELL DID HONDA MAKE THE 2000 CIVICS ALL RETARDED.... look at the window and anyone can pry it down and unlock the door with some long shaft. I'm thinking about getting an ALARM for my car now... ANYONE KNOW ANY GOOD ALARM + INSTALL FOR LESS THEN $200.00?? HM.. $250.00 at max?
edit: and what kind of security alarm is the best? shock, window, etc... I guess i'm asking which one is the best bet to keep a car robber(lowlifes) out and away from my car?

best is not show off your system. Or in my case I only have a small amp so I'm always showin it so word gets around that I don't have anything worth stealing. Alarms don't work much unless you have one with a pager, and a gun when you run back to your car.

PM me if you know companies that are hiring.
If you start building internal walls with speakers protrouding out of them, you better park your car somewhere safe and have it under video surveillance. You also should consider it as more than just a regular car and thus take care of it a little more, in general, including security-wise. As far as decks go, that's why I would always take the faceplate with me and see it as a necessary feature when shopping around.
There's nothing wrong with showing off in my opinion, but protect your car properly if you decide to go that route!

dark tints help. you could get an aftermarket headunit that has a faceplate that can be removed. i always take my faceplate, that helps. anyway, tint does alot for the car.
thanks for everyone's input. i just wanted the security so when the alarm goes off the theives will get scared and run off... or am i not being realistic here, do theives get scared when the alarm goes off?? I guess i'll save the money and just tint my car, rather than getting a security system.
another question... has anyone heard of someone's cd deck getting stolen when their faceplate was taken off? and would anyone know why they would steal it when the faceplate is off?
the point is they won't steal it cause the face plate it off. your faceplate= compatible with your unit only. and you can get like a viper alarm for around 200 + install, and yeah if it goes off they go running. there are certain rules you follow when you are theiving. i learned them from a holes so i knew what was up
