Default Remote starter!!

Since winter is coming so soon i'm thinking about getting a remote starter for my 1997 Honda Accord SE. It already has a stock alarm on it which is fine. I'm lookin into getting a basic viper alarm. Don't really need the two-way pager. I'm lookin at this one right now http://cgi.ebay.com/VIPER-160X...wItem

Also, how much does it ususally cost to install one of these like at Best Buy, or Circuit City.

If you bring that starter to Best Buy it'll cost you minimum $150 for install.

Since most places include install for free with the price of the starter when you buy it there, it's almost cheaper to buy at a store.

Plus, if you buy that starter on eBay, you'll get NO warranty.

That alone should weigh pretty heavily on your decision...
