Dude... Viper Alarms don't cost 1000$

I have a viper 280Hf and it retails for 199 CND (uninstalled), With add-ons it May retail for 350$.... Now Go to the local Best Buy and talk to those guys about an alarm.

damn, fucking people these days cant respect anything anymore..thus one of the reaons why I dont think I really wanna get a hooked up car, then you have people being your friends, that would of never gave you the time of day before..a buddy of mine was telling me how when he had his mustan, expensive system, rims, body kit I mean it was the works, well he went to a party and there were a few bad eggs there, when he left I guess they followed him back to his house..and he said like about two weeks later he was sleeping..and he hears fire sirens, and someone knocking on his door..answers the door, and it was the fire fighter, and he asked him if this was his car..pointed to the car..rims were stolen, no body kit, no stereo system everything was gone..and the car was torched..this was about two years ago and maybe just this past month, he found out who did it..he said if he would ever see the kids again, he would knock them out, and torch their car..sorry it was long but it was a lot to type.

I know bestbuy, circuit city, etc has them. She had the one where on the keyring, it showed if someone was touching, entering, what part of the car they were messing with and it vibrates when it is warning you of these things.

those alarms are great only problem with them is that they only work like 300yrds (if that) from the car. I personaly don't use one because I don't see the need.

the basic principle behind an alarm is to draw attention to the car when it's broken into Via Sirens & lights. since theives don't like drawing attention to themselves they 1. try to rip the alarm out 2. run away.

Now if the alarms is properly installed and well hidden 1. no longer becomes an option.

The system I usualy recomend for our customers is a Viper 280hf with the Glass break module, a Backup battery, and a Key lock siren.

typical theives will try 3 things to disable an alarm 1. rip out the Brain (if they can find it) 2. rip out siren 3. disconnect the battery.

this setup takes care of option 2 & 3... How well it's installed takes care of Number 1. ( key lock siren is a unit that can replace or be added in addition to the stock siren in the kit, it installs like a regular alarm however incorporates a little addon security feature, if the wires are clipped it will still go off, it has a built in battery and will only stop if a key is inserted in the alarm housing or the battery dies. )

Now if the theives use a flatbed (like what most likely happened to Marked001 with His civics) weither you have a) the expensive pager type alarm or b) a High quality alarm or c) a walmart alarm your still screwed.

well that's my .02$ worth
