replace OBD port with a fake one and relocate the original .
then LOJack, Spartan and a couple air tags
Relocating the OBD port is something I never thought of, but I also don't want to hurt its resell value incase I trade-in for something else!

Thank you so much for the advice!

I find Mobilistics a pretty easy workaround, so it is just an added step and NOT a primary device.
I am not going to post it here, but think about it and you should understand.

Wheel locks are the worst thing you can add. Thugs are known to f up your car pretty bad if you have wheel locks and they can’t get them off. Better to let them steal them and file a claim for new wheels than have to repaint the whole car, replace windows, and who knows what else they might do.

Thugs suck.

Buy a second car, store the Camaro, sell the second car when you leave DFW area and get the Camaro out of storage.

change the front bumper and hood, buy some used ones and dont even paint them the same color. change all the emblems to RS or 2.0t. something that would make it much less desirable. partially plastidip the wheels to make them look damaged. if it looks like shit then why would a thief waste his time with it.

Sad society when the best way to not get your camaro stolen is to just never own it.

You can thank the last 4 years... "We don't want to hurt anyone's feelings by arresting them for sealing a car that is NOT theirs..."

There are tons of options out there (some better than others), but they are ultimately all just deterrents. If someone is determined enough, not much is going to stop them. This was pretty effective, though.
