Making body kit more secure?

I was wondering, I have a full Xenon body kit and someone wants to steal it. Now my questions are, is there any way to make it so that the side skirts wont be able to be ripped off, literally? They have four metal braces under them, with four screws also, so could you tack weld them to the car??? If you could do that would it stop them from atleast getting them??? As far as the rear valance goes, I have absolutely no idea how to secure that down. It is only held on by four screws, and some adhesive. Yeah any suggestions would be great.

Go ahead and pay the extra $100 on your insurance and if someone steals it you will make a lil gain off the insurance claim. Also I doubt anyone will say screw the stereo system and the tight azz rims and get under you car to steal a body kit. I'd be more worried about someone keying my chit then someone stealing it...

Thats just my 2 cents.

I'de do this: Check what diameter and thread size screws you need and get some security screws from www.mcmaster.com They come in different head shapes that aren't commonly available. Look under Fastening and Sealing > Machine Screws > Tamper-Resistant Good luck!
