wow you'll probably roll a bit into the loan. Might be better off keeping what you've got. I came from a 285hp wrx to a 140hp Civic and I have no complaints.

One more bit of advice for not having your car stolen... NEVER tell a shop (tuner shop, stereo shop) where you live. Give them a false address or something. Too many people have had their stuff stolen from the people that install it. It does happen.

well a good car alarm... well mostly check how its instaled... hit every door see if the warning chirp or full triggers go off..... try opening the hood and truck and seeing if the alarm goes off... if any areas are not triggering the alarm system then its either crap or needs the apropriate sensors instaled to protect everywhere!

but for the sirens most people use these mini pizos or something like that... put one under dash... one under drivers seat... one in front of car and one in rear of car... while still trying to hide the sirens outta sight and wires outta reach so they cannt just yank the wires out! but if ya got several sirens not only will it be loud as F*** but also be harder for them to silience all of them quickly....

main thing you want with a good system is a backup battery for the alarm system, alarm system hidden and tied up and outta the way from peoples hands....
cause lets face it... thats the best you can do for these amature theives..... any pro would just tow truck it...... if i was a thief thats how id do it... lets face it.... who would be suspisious of a car ontop of a tow truck or trailer with its alarm going off???????? anyone....... not me....... id just be like.... HAHAHAHHAAHAAHA SOMEONE DIDNT PAY THIER CAR PAYMENT AND ITS GETING REPOED....lmfao come on wouldnt you! LOL

It is not worth it. You'll lose gas mileage and you will also lose at least $5,000.00 in value of your current car.
