OK guys, you gave a lot of good suggestions, shared some insightful horror stories but I still don't know:

1- who will install the alarm - shop? or hot rod shop?

2- which alarm model to buy?

3- how did the shop hook up the clifford alarm: Will it sound off if you open the hood or doors or trunk? if you hit the car?

In short, you kids are not off the hook yet If you anyone can, please try to answer the above 3 questions for me

Thank you much
