I recently had installed a Python 991 two-way and I am happy with it. Nothing is perfect.
I got a 2-way Viper recently, but didn't put the window sticker on. Did you or has anyone used it? I thought it looked kind of cheesy, but if it'll help keep a thief away then I'm all for it.

Even the factory installed alarm can help. Mine went off once at a car show when some kids tried to open the door to "check out" the interior.

If you don't live in the country with a private driveway and/or garage you are taking a huge chance not installing a good alarm. If I lived where I had to park on the street I would not own an S2000.

Yeah If I didn't own a garage I would not own this car.

I used mine only on the driver side window. I don't know about the Viper sticker but the Python one looks fine. I figure it couldn't hurt. Some people say that it attracts thieves who know that alarm system. If it is a good alarm system it shouldn't matter if who is stealing your car - it should go off.
