I hate wiring... I gave my car to a local shop to install my alarm.

you will be spending close to 400 dollars...

my suggestion is get The CLUB and bring your valuables into the house. get a cd player with detachable face.

I hate wiring... I gave my car to a local shop to install my alarm.yeah it is a pain in the ass the first couple times, but once you get the hang of it it saves you lots of money. plus since you now know how to do it you can charge your buddies to wire the shit they need wired. :grinyes:

yes viper alarm systems IMO are the best money can buy. a little expensive but alot less cheaper than having to replace stereo equipment, windows, other shit you have in your ride or even your car.

It was also an X-mas present, so none of that $700, came out of my pocket :lol:

It was also an X-mas present, so none of that $700, came out of my pocket :lol:well see now that is a major plus!!! :grinyes:

well then get you ass down here to st. louis and wire me up a alarm lol

well then get you ass down here to st. louis and wire me up a alarm lolwell normally i do drive places to do that work but i think that might be a little far for me sorry.:grinyes:

lol i would imagine. do they sell the viper kits online somewhere for a decent price

im sure they do. havent looked around though. all my buddies and i get ours through local custom car shops. you could always check ebay lol you always find shit for cheap on there

you will be spending close to 400 dollars...

my suggestion is get The CLUB and bring your valuables into the house. get a cd player with detachable face.

dont forget to take out those speakers, amp, new wheels, and the box or reeses pieces from your console.... ghetto kidlets spare nothing!

wiring an alarm really isnt that difficult, just time consuming if you havent played with wires... or your car before.

:icon16:

yes the only real purpose of the club is so that they cant steal the whole car. so taking everything inside with you isnt going to work. so your saying when i go to lets say dinner in the city, i should bring in all my stereo equipment and everything else worth money into the resaurant with me??:screwy: no thank you that wont work. thats why you have a nice alarm system.

ok seriously.....................

use hex screws for your speakers and amp, get 2 sets of wheel locks, and disable the trunk pop button.

when you go to dinner in the city, do you park in a dark alley or something?

i'm not saying alarms aren't useful, i'm just being rational.. they're overpriced.


unless you steal one.

unless you steal one.no i dont park in a dark alley im not that stupid. but its the city people there dont give a shit where you park. if they see something they want they'll get it. yeah i know alarms can be pricey but IMO i think there well worth it.

Doesn't matter where you are or what car you drive, I had my cd deck and sub box with two 10" subs stolen out of my mustang that was a POS except for the audio system, right outta my high school PARKING LOT, in broad DAYLIGHT in suburbia. I won't bother tricking out or adding things to any car unless I get an alarm first, you can't have anything nice nowdays without worrying about some f*ck stealing it. IMO alarms are well worth the money, mine was only so much because of everything else it does, but you should be able to get just an alarm and installed for around 2-300. And I def. think everyone should get one mainly because nowdays people = shit.

i guess i just live in a safer area than you all....

these mexicans want civics and camrys and what not, they don't really mess with american cars...


in my opinion, alarms and insurance are the devil.

most people have their systems stolen by their neighbors or friends, thats what happens when you show it off.

and the club does nothing, i could show you in 30 seconds how to pop one off, and no I do not steal cars

some don't know who their friends are...



i dunno, maybe i have like this aura around me keeping thieves off....


divine intervention maybe?

a REAL good friend of mine has the same aura, but he is also a master marksmen and has about 15k in guns and amo in the basement

and the club does nothing, i could show you in 30 seconds how to pop one off, and no I do not steal carswell i could do it in about 20 seconds tops!! :lol: considering i am in the locksmith buisness and i do this shit almost everyday. top that one cav2000 lol j/k

no one messes with my shit purely because they know who i am. i dont need no guns or weapons to be tuff and intimidating.

well i could do it in about 20 seconds tops!! :lol: considering i am in the locksmith buisness and i do this shit almost everyday. top that one cav2000 lol j/k
30 seconds no tools, haha got you fucker lol
edit: the 30 seconds includes getting in the car

30 seconds no tools, haha got you fucker lol
edit: the 30 seconds includes getting in the car shit you got me there :banghead: :banghead: how do you go about doing it if i may ask??

put the seat all the way back and the put yourself tight against the seat, lift your right leg and kick as hard as you can in the "right" spot. it bends just a wee bit then you just push it forward. They are cheap pieces of shit

They are cheap pieces of shit:rofl: :rofl: jeez well that is one way of going about it. yeah i know they are pretty f-ing cheap.

sad part is people depend on them

takes me 5 seconds to remove most clubs! and I don't mean with a key!!
;)

ok seriously.....................

use hex screws for your speakers and amp, get 2 sets of wheel locks, and disable the trunk pop button.

meanwhile they use a crowbar to bend the back seat down, or pop the trunk open and hack the shit out of your ride to get everything out. im not a pro crook but im sure there are ways to steal wheels that are locked... hell i take my steering wheel in the house with me but im sure someone out there has a universal quick hub thatll work just fine in my car.

you must live in hollywood or something. if you have crap in your car it dont matter if you have it bolted down, ghetto kidlets will get it out, and if they cant they will destroy your car in the process of trying. there is no way you can bolt down every single valuable in your vehicle it not feasable. people are willing to steal anything and everything.

alarms are a worthy investment even if your running stock everything, as long as the car is worth more than a bigmac and fries. not only is it a deterrant, but its a friggin nice warning for when some nugget is rummaging through your shit looking for any bottle of tic tacs you left in your car while your watching the facts of life.

as long as your alarm has a battery back up. it's to easy to crawl under a car and cut wires

as long as your alarm has a battery back up. it's to easy to crawl under a car and cut wires
its easy to wire an alarm so that crawling under the car and cutting wires does nothing but look like they accomplished something, unless you have sphagetti arms and can weave all the way up and cut all the wires at the battery terminal without touching anything so not to set the alarm off. proximity and laser sensors are pretty cheap to install now too they can help elimiate issues as such.

if there are 2 cars on the road, 1 with alarm and 1 not... the crook will choose the unalarmed car 8.5/10 times and the other 1.5 times they were to dumb to check for it.

;)hahaha just taking a wild guess here............kick the bitch??? :lol:

i live about 1 minute from College Park in MD... so i dunno, maybe the thieves go for the rich kids cars.......... infinitis, acuras, bmw, lexuses..... shit even toyotas and hondas...

hahaha just taking a wild guess here............kick the bitch??? :lol:

some of them snap!!

some of them snap!!yes i know because those damn things are pourly made. :disappoin

I would never even consider using one of them anyway, those things went out of style years ago like Mc hammer pants.
