you can use pre-existing switches (such as ac swtich) it just has to hold a constant "on" or "off".
use relays and connect the wires to corresponding units you want turned off. (fuel pump, ignition, w.e)

Brake locks can be used as clutch locks. Just get that, 20 bucks on Amazon.com. Super cheap. I have one of those too, with a steering wheel lock and an alarm to top it all off.

@samilp ok yea I dint tink of that if I maked a kill switch for my fuel pump well/could it short it out if I hook it up incorrectly? But in dc if I make a new killswitch I have to power it ground it then rewire the power out to the fuel pump?

anything can be shorted out if its hooked up incorrectly, lol.
all i did was ground the switch and just "cut into" the existing fuel pump wire. i didnt have to rewire anything. i just traced the fuel pump and relayed it to the switch, then grounded the switch.

thats the best idea i have heard in a long time. I may actually go wire something easy yet tricky.

Same thing happened to me today. I was out front fixing some wiring and a riced out accord pulled up right at my driveway full of dudes and they sat and eyeballed my car for like 2 minutes then sped off and hit a u-turn then came back down my street all looking out the window at my car.. Kinda suspicious or im kinda paranoid. Either way, better safe than sorry.

But as OGstackdolla said .....
Kill switches and a pistol :thumbs up:
