The Clifford or Viper would be my choice but what models are you looking to get? I have the Viper 5000, comes with the two-way pager. Also the install of the alarm is the most important part. Take it to a reputable shop, better chance of getting a quality install.

honestly i dont know what model the clifford is... a local shop that has done other things on my car is going to install it.. its a audo, security shop so i trust them... but then a local shop down the street sells excalibur alarms... but they dont have the LCD and they just alarm and disalarm... you tink the LCD and 2 way w/ power locks is worth the extra 150 bucks?

DEI is the company that makes alarms as well as other audio/video equipment. Go with the Clifford (made by DEI) its a quality product and many people cab attest to that. Don't skimp out on your cars security. It is worth the 150 bucks more than the Excalibur.
