Dude, you're not one to be talking. When you first came on this site, you spouted so much BS it wasn't even funny, and you still do it sometimes. What mods have you done to your car recently that give you the position to say I should do the install myself? Sure, I COULD do it, but how many times do I have to say it? I AM NOT INSTALLING IT MYSELF. I DO NOT LIKE WIRING STUFF AND ALTHOUGH I DO WIRE STUFF SOMETIMES, I HATE DOING IT.
I didn't optimize the TB, I just put the optimized TB on, I also had a shop install the cam gears. Although I have done my suspension, installed my hood, and a bunch of other stuff, I don't do EVERYTHING. Most alarms aren't over $80. And install at CC is $120. That puts me at $200. Though I actually will probably get it done cheaper somewhere else.
If it's so easy, fun, etc. to do, then I'll give you $10 and you can install it for me.... though you'd probably fry my car.
AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED THIS THREAD IS OVER.

Your better off going to a local car audio/security shop. Like I said in previous post, you can have a pretty good alarm installed for around 250.00

i bought my alarm for 149 plus tax installed from best buy. it was a black widow 2150 if i remember right. it has shock sensors, remote start capability, starter disable, door sensors, and like one or two other things on it. it works really good. i think installation is free when you buy the stuff from best buy.

No prob. BTW, I have an old Prime amx68 alarm "prime was made by Avital" sitting in a box brand new but it's missing 1 wire. It's the wire that goes from the shock sensor to the brain. I didn't use it because I didn't have time to find the new wire so I bought the Viper at a local car audio shop. If if you want to try to find the wire for it you can have it for VERY CHEAP. I'm moving and it's taking up space. PM me if you want more details.

Thanks for the offer, but I'll pass.
About most the alarms being $80, they really are. Whether they're DEI, Audiovox, Alpine,etc. They are $80 by themselves or ~$200 installed. That's with the basic alarm + keyless entry. But since not many people recommended a certain brand, I'm just gonna go with whatever place talks to me the nicest. I've talked to CC and a local shop and both are $200 for basically the same thing. Got a couple more places to check, but I'm sure they'll be the same.

i've always wanted to try to install an alarm by myself, but i have one question: How do the sensors work for the windows, like how does it know if a window is broken?
