My shop used a custom bracket up under the driver's side dash, solidly bolted to part of the frame.

You wont it way up under the dash. In a place that is a total pain in the neck to get to. Make sure your wires are hidden. They should be taped, tucked and tie-wrapped to look like stock wiring.

as long as ur wires aren't obvious ur safe. My brain is pretty well hidden in a panel that requires quite a bit of time to remove. I'm keeping quiet sorry... :-D

As if someone is going to steal your S2000, which has an alarm, versus the many that don't...

If the customer pays more we will hide it in a pretty much imposible spot and change all the wire colors to the exact same.. So even if you see the wires its all the same colors so you wont be able to find the starter kill without a very good amount of time..

are alarms and such include the install if you buy it from us.. which is pretty much how it goes for any shop..

If you bring your own alarm prices are like this
alarm/keyless entry 149
alarm/keyless/remote start 199

but of course it ranges on what shops you go to and where u live.. cali is ussually pretty expensive.
