what up fellow dentonite( not really just go to school) i think he full of bs but i don't know. check out maybe c.c. or talk to one of the guys about doing it on their day off. i don't know the specs of your alarm but 800 is crazy.

Most shops do that alarm for $1000-1100. That's alarm and install. The alarm is typically about $400-450 so the difference is made up in install. I qoute about $600 for install, depending on certain features. Shop around.

$1000 just for the alarm, retail? We sell it for around $400 at my shop, iirc (Don't know exactly, I'm an installer not salesman). That being the case, you would be looking at around $600 for install. Most shops I know/talk with, sell it for around $1000-1100 installed, out the door, with everything.
