Default Alarm Suggestions from S2K-owners

If you guys arent aware, i bought my used S2K back at the end of Sept,paid for and at a good deal. Anyways, the car was missing the factory remotes. I figured, no biggie i will get the factory Honda alarm later and that comes with new remotes anyway. Well the time has come for me to do that as my S is out of winter storage and ive been driving it once or twice a week. Right now, im leaning towards aftermarket since it seems that you can get some nice options with an aftermarket system such as a proximity sensor which i definately want now and i the Honda system doesnt offer. I did see a friends car this weekend with the "Compustar" system with the pager and remote start, i thought that was pretty cool. But i dont really need the remote start option. Ive heard that Alpine and Clifford make good alarms as well. Anyone have a system they'd like to recommend to me Please, id like to hear from S2K owners who have an aftermarket system only. Thanks in advance guys !

A proxmity sensor is a must... 2 way is also good so when y ou are in range you know when the alarm is going off.

I always thought that Clifford Alarms were the best.

Ideugene, i dont have the factory keyless pads with my car! I didnt get them hence this is why i want an alarm with new keyless entry pads as well as proximity sensor(s) And yes, i myself have heard that Alpine and Clifford make good systems. I will also look into the VIper if the local shops here carry it. I dont mind shelling out more $, as long as its got the features i want and is quality. Com on guys, theres got to be more of you with aftermarket alarms!!! Speak up please
