i am looking at getting a good alarm and i need to know what kind is best for a few hundred and whetehr or not i should have it installed professionally so i dont fuck it up... thanks

The best choice would be a Viper 791 XV. It's Viper's top of the line, with an LCD pager. I recommend additional prox sensor and motion sensor modules to compliment the alarm. I've had mine for a year now, works great, goes off if you even look at it funny.

GET IT DONE PROFESSIONALLY!! Do not try to do it yourself! I tried and it took me like a month.

But then again, if you get a viper or whatever they are usually installed at the place where you buy them for free (well, at least the purchase price covers that cost!)

I found some of the viper alarms on ebay.. does anyone have another brand of alarm or anything that they got for a good price that works good?

If the alarm has remote start, is that a problem with a manual transmission?

I found this one http://www.slickcar.com/productdetails.asp?ProductID=3725

Looks good with the pager and everything.. can you buy an alarm online and then have somewhere install it for you so you dont fuck it up???

I have heard good things about CompuStar.

but about the remote start and a manual transmisssion??

no u cant remote start a manuel

Yes, you can remote start manual. You bypass the clutch, which may be illegal in some states. Ofcourse, you better remember to leave the car in neutral...

If you do a search I posted a link to a site that has alarms with all the features of the Viper but at hundreds less (around $150). The site has live support, diagrams, and every part you need to easily install it yourself. But if you've got lots of $ and no time then I'd definitely go the the 791xv.

spyder, what kind of rims do you have? they are bad ass!
