Best Place to get Alarm Installed around Bmore

Sup folks, just picked up my 08 RR GSR the other day and man is it sweet. Now on to the unfortunate news.

I left my house at 5:45 for work this morning and noticed a big pile of glass right next to my roommates 9 (boost_junky2000). Turns out some jackass pulled a smash and grab and stole his boost gauge.

Now it has me worried that my car is going to be targeted. I don't have any mods, or anything visible except the big *** Nav screen accy.

We're both looking into getting CompuStar or Viper alarms and we want to know if there are any really good installers in the Baltimore area.

Hopefully someone with some Evo 10 experience who knows how to install an alarm to work in conjuction with the FASTkey system.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

-J

if your car is prone to the ol' smash and grab, try looking into proximity sensors. But yeah, ask around the local baltimore/maryland car forums and see if they have any places of reccomendation.

That's awesome. But generally Best Buy blows.

I got mine done at auto truck outfitters too but at the pulaski highway location. they did a pretty nice job and gave me the best price I could find.
