ok so I went out to my jeep just a few minutes ago and was thinking about how easy it is to access all of my under the hood goodies and those to come. has anyone had a problem with this? is there a way to prevent this? a locking mechinism or something that could be used?

too bad it's not black so it kind of hides in the grill

edit: maybe it can be painted black? sand it and paint it with krylon fusion?

I don't see why it couldn't be painted.

thanks for the idea. how is it held in there, screws? easy to install?

It looks like it just uses existing screws.

Of course my Jeep is silver so it wouldn't look too out of place anyway.
