paranoid about my Evo in a car magazine

To make the story short I got an offer from two car magazines that want to write an article on my car after I install the turbo kit. Owner of JUN Taiwan who worked on my car asked me if I would do it to also help promote his shop. Im afraid to let the public know what I have done to my car because the chances of it being stolen will be higher because of my mods. BTW also my car will be in JUN website in Taiwan...I dont know maybe im just paranoid? lol

Taipei city is small so once my car is out there people would definately recognize it easily. Owner already hooked me up with many things and helped out a lot on my car so I kinda feel bad not doing it.

I'd be all over that in an instant. Just do what everyone else said and get an alarm and LoJack or something.
