Stock Security system vs AfterMarket
I am not familar with the stock security system on the gs, like auto fuel shutoff etc. I bought the l-sportline wheels and spending money fixing the car up. If I get an aftermarket alarm I could put a tilt sensor etc in there and some other things. Is the secuirty system itself good enough or do you recommend upgrading it to another after market one and if so which one is good and or which
"parts" of the security system do you recommend putting on.

how do you get the shock sensor to work with the stock one? what I wanted to do is put the 19" 5K set of l sport line wheels and I don't want them stolen at all. I ordered the macguard nuts from double woosh but not sure if that is enough.

The difference between after market and factory alarm is just the shock sensor you could go to any shop and tell them to add that in.Shock sensor are like $5 to $10 dollars I think, your money is really on labor cost. Got mines done for $40 dollars but the installer ask for $25 dollars , gave him more .It depends who you know, I think if you pay 50 to 80 thats fair. Thats my opinion only.

I'm thinking about the Luxurymotorworks add-in shock sensor (http://www.luxurymotorworks.com/sense_o_shock_alarm.php), which costs $150 and requires no cutting of wires. Maybe I should just have an alarm shop do this according to what you had done.
