You going to install it yourself? Is that why you are asking?

1990 Accord is very basic. You shouldn't need anything else.

Main wires:

Other wires, this one has color codes but also the locations of the wires which helps

This should help you get started

While your doing it consider getting a backup battery and hiding the brain in a hard to find location.

pretty much basic wiring but if u don't know ur way around installing take it to a good shop, usually they charge 100-150 if u bring ur own alarm, if u don't have power locks u may be able to talk them into dropping the price a bit more
all u really wanna diy all u need to hook up is ur power, ignition, start kill, parking lights, door trigger, and power locks if u have power door locks

No I'm not planning on doing it my self I'm going to get it professionally installed the guy told me to provide my own alarm and all addinal parts that are required; I'm planning on being able to pop the trunk with the remote and I'd like to know if I'd need an extra relay or something that's all. And where is a good place to hide the kill switch and the brain.

Should have just said that in the first post. Anyways, yes with trunk pop you will need an actuator and a relay. If you want you domelight to come on when you arm/disarm then you will need another relay for that.

why not tell the installer what u want done and see what else u need to buy so he don't give u that "u need to buy this from us" scenario
as for the trunk u may need a solenoid instead of an actuator, b/c it may not be strong enough to pull the trunk latch, if it is then u might be able to use an actuator
