And..I'm not 100% sure but I believe that the latest Dex out there (they've changed it over the years) is a huge parking lot better at not oating up like the old stuff.

My poor baby

^ original trans too? That's something to be happy about!

Backed into my parking spot today.

I hope it will help so thieves won't sit in my car like last time and take whatever they want.

This last break in the spent like 30 mins in my car for sure.

I lost so much.

Give me any idea to prevent it next time.
I'm good with wires. (Know how to install a stereo and cam)
But asking if its something that needs special knowledge with the ign switch.

Don't buy toooo cheap - its a waste of money. Try to buy a name u have heard, Autostart - Ultrastart - Polar start.
U might be able to get one from ur local parts store fore $80 or less. But then u will need to buy some relays if u don't have a remote starter installed already.
And if ur going to install for security u will want to put a starter cutout relay in aswell. And make sure u can get a FULL set of install instructions, look online and see if theres a set, mine had a partial but since ive installed in the past I can fill in the blanks - and yes I bought a Viper high end, a lot of high end ones don't come with complete install instructions so u have to pay someone to install for u.

And im not making a remark about above post.

And I am getting emails from this site again - sporadically

How much it should cost labor?

anywhere from $50 to $400 if u want them to hook up power doors, trunk, and security.

If u can do wiring, its doable if u have complete instructions, I save $220 doing my own. - mine is only a remote starter - not starter/alarm combo.

The remote start up feels like messing with the ignition switch for long hours.

Today the dealer started to work on my car since the break in.

"Good Chevrolet" just got pAid $2650 for repairs. Ignition and cylinder and weather stripe.

I'd fix it myself for 200$ the most.

hooking to the ignition wires is not hard as peps think.
its the door relays that are harder.

got home from school today... scratched my tint too already... back passenger side window.. just a little hair line one but still.. pissed.. god damn lamp... but got home and this is the first thing i did..

i helped a buddy out with swapping a washer fluid pump, and fixing his broken plate light.

then drove mine to princess auto, bought a tool for removing roll own windows for my buddys G5, and a snap ring tool for myself for when i tackle the clock spring, scotty, you got that link/know how still on how to reset the clock spring after its been floating around loose for like ever LOL

clock spring if its not centered. theres a button on it, you push that in and slowly turn it to one side, then turn it back to the other side and count the full turns, then turn it back 1/2 the times back to center it. just turn it slow or you can hit the end and break it.

i think mine was 7 turns, 3.5 back to center.

Ran it through the wash and go....then it FVCKING rains, FML.

letting it sit in the rain to get all the damn tree sap off.
