I don't know... To me, it seems like detaching the faceplate makes it look
like you've got something expensive to hide. It's not as if detaching the
faceplate makes it look like there's not a head unit there at all... And a
faceplate is much cheaper to replace than the entire head unit. Not to
mention the fact that it does nothing to protect you from the types that
break into cars just to cause damage... It's a sad world indeed.
