Lo-jack is better than kill switch cause when it get stolen the info that it got stolen go to the police so that will be the best choice

There's a security FAQ around here somewhere; maybe in the FAQ up above.

Anyway, good alarm + killswitches + lowjack = about as good as you'll do.

You could get a removable steering wheel, clutch lock and some other **** too if you want to go all out. Lojack alone will cost you about $800-1000.

Dude, you live in Fayetteville? Go ask for Alan at Circuit City over there. His name is VegaS10 on Carolinahondas.com....but he knows his **** and is considered to be the go-to guy for alarm installs around here. He has a how-to on CH for a hidden alarm system along with great tips.

As far as LoJack goes, you'd probably have better luck using those GPS phones hidden in the car with a back-up battery. There's been quite a few instances where LoJack has failed.

Also, I'd invest in a kill switch or any other methods that immediately deter thieves instead of a system that waits for the car to be stolen. Kill switch, removing relays, fuses, ECU, etc. are great cheap ways to make it harder to steal. A good alarm that's also well installed/hidden is a great investment also.
