Security for 96' Honda Accord?
Hi all!
First off, I live in one of the most auto-theft ridden cities in the USA, Seattle. To make it worse, I have an 96 Accord, which is very easy to steal and is a magnet for theives/retards. I recently got my car stolen for a one day joy ride, and now I am serious about security for my ride. I got a Club for a temperary deterrent, but I really need an alarm too. It seems that my model of Accord is very easy to break into using a shaved key, which means the Club is irrelevant for people getting into my car and doing whatever they want (except driving). So I need an alarm...
What kind of alarm shoud I get? The car has manual locks and windows if that matters. I don't know much about cars either, so I'll probably have someone install the alarm for me unless its very easy.
Thank you so much for any advice!

Re: Security for 96' Honda Accord? (irrationale)
Take my advice, go to your local car audio/security shops that carry brand name alarms, any DEI alarm, [Viper, Clifford, Avital, Python or Hornet] or a Compustar dealer, and pick an alarm, [and install] within your budget, it will save you a lot of grief, give you a lifetime warranty on the alarm and install, because you do not have power door locks, [and as long as you do not want them] the install should not cost more then $100, and that should include starter kill, [you may need a relay] light flash, trunk trigger and hood pin, the doors are covered with basic install. 94
PS if you want some more "layers" keep the club and maybe add a hidden kill switch for the fuel pump relay, something you could do yourself.
