Less then we would have charged, and pretty cheap for an alarm, two door lock actuators and two custom installed tweeters.

Not sure I would want to take it to a shop that would charge less. 94

Basic is $200 for alarm, Semi-stealth is $300, Full-stealth is $400, and $40 per option/extra sensor(s), door lock actuators are $80 per door, the tweeters would start at $80 and go up depending on the amount of custom work, we would probably quote $500 for basic install on all of it, assuming it is a basic install, electrical at our shop is $80 per hour.

Just so you know, we are the most expensive shop in town for audio/security installation, [we cut no corners]. 94

I'd say that sounds really fair, but look around just to get an idea.

Sounds fair. I paid $90 for install, and they wanted $105 per door for keyless, and $30 for any addition to the alarm.

I paid around the same for my 05 Accord minus the tweeters

fcm: Sounds like us... APS-687C + ADS AL-CA installed $420. Obviously more for Alarm and Remote start (even though for half the car's the labor really isn't too much more since the ADS unit provides good coverage via data).

so i got it done at the place i actually ended up paying 240$ not 250$ took them 5 hours of labor due to the module setting having to be changed, im pretty happy about the work quality i stayed the whole time and watched since i was only down the street from my house..
