Kevin Brown's hatch....

Soooo, yeah.

Another one that's not getting taked.

Tilt sensor, backup battery, ecu kill, fuel pump kill, horn honk, headlights flash, 1 mile paging keypad.

Since the hatch did'nt come with it, I added keyless entry, and it's got remote start on it.

Kevin got here early and rolled up in this:

Super clean interior with minty fresh ITR seats. Very nice car to work on since it was a virgin. Bone stock sans CD player. It is really rare to find a car like this that has'nt been beat up, hacked into or just trashed.

I pulled the carpet up and laid everything in:

Wires ran up in the dash:

Finished shots:

There really isn't much to show. ALL wires are soldered, taped, loomed and wire tied. Not much to look at.

Kevin got here 9:30ish in the morning, worked straight through till 1, we took a 30 minute lunch, came back and were done by 6. I spent an hour fighting the damn actuator and fishing the wire through the grommets, but it was well worth it.

I set the shock sensor to where it will take a pretty solid impact from a car to trip, as you don't want a false alarm on something like this.

Overall, honestly, I'm glad to see people realizing it's smart to get security FIRST before any modifications.

Ahhhhhhhhh.

What a long day, haha. Mainly for you but, not even doing anything drains the energy from you quick. I appreciate the great and quick work Alan. Couldn't ask for much more! Like me and Alan were talking about earlier, everyone should invest in security FIRST!

Looks good. Can't wait till I get the extra money. You'll be getting a call from me for sure.

Yea man. I highly suggest getting up with Alan.

My car isn't much to look at right now but, this is just so I know the car will not go out of my sight, of course!

How long does it take to install one of these?

I was there all day. He wasn't rushing and it took probably 8.5 hours. Alan done A LOT of work today and it was appreciated mucho grande. I was very surprised!

If you don't want an alarm as serious as mine, it would take less time i'm sure. Not that having a more straight forward alarm is a bad thing. I just got what I could afford at the time. MIGHT be overkill but, I'm satisfied!
