You can make it harder, but I don't know that you can prevent someone from really getting what they want. An example - when anti-theft devices started getting really good, carjackings went up. Easier to go after a person than deter the system. There are ways to get off wheel locks that use shaped keys ... so I guess you can only slow down a determined thief, maybe deter the opportunistic a$$.

the 3rd gen corners are great...you gotta get at the screw from under the hood - harder to steal

buy a set of diamond cut clear corners...leave them at home and drive around with the stock ambers...guaranteed not to be stolen

im having mine custom installed after my diamonds were stolen. basically, on the smaller piece, they're installing some screw in place of the plastic thing that snaps in place. for the larger piece thats screw in, i think they're replacing the screw with some flathead thing, so you have to bo under the car to unscrew it. ill post the details when it gets done.
