Question regarding Security Pack on 2011 Mustang
I picked up my Mustang yesterday but only noticed that the wheel locks were not on the tires when I got home. For those who purchased a 2011 Mustang with the Security package, did the wheel locks come installed or is the kit somewhere in the car?

Thanks James. I'll have to check the trunk to make sure they are in there, but I'll bet the dealer was supposed to install them and forgot. BTW, I have almost the exact same car as you. I'm really digging the MCA package and I was not a fan initially. I love the wheels so want to make sure to get the locks on ASAP

My license plate bracket is still in the trunk which is where it will stay unless I throw it away. I'll just keep the front plate on the passenger floorboard along with a couple of broken zip ties in case I get stopped. I just can't justify ruining the front of the car by drilling the bracket into the bumper and there's no good bracket out for the V6.

That said though, wheel locks only keep honest people honest. Just like everything else, there are tools a pro would use to circumvent them.

My dealer got my car via dealer exchange with another, out of state, dealer who had removed the wheel locks and no one remembered to put them back. So when I asked my dealer about the wheel locks, they readily ordered a new package and installed them. Frankly, it looked better with just 5 regular lug nuts at each wheel.

mine were in a package in the glovebox
I prefer it this way so I actually have 5 normal lug nuts per wheel PLUS my wheel locks. On weekends i am at the track I dont run the wheel locks (since the wheels are off and on so much) its great!
