Hey guys,

I been wondering if would be worth it to put either a viper or Clifford alarm in my 2012 maxima. My car is stock so there is nothing to lose if someone stile it, but the kids in my neiborhood are being scratching all the cars in the condominium so that's why I'm so concerned.

Would one of this alarms resolve my problem ?

Or it's just a waste of money.

Thanks guys

 

viper man. i have one and i love it

 

Get Viper. I have one on my 95' Altima and it's great. Ask Ghozt. He has a viper system and he loves it. I should of gotten it but installers in my area are pussies when it comes to push to start .

 

Thanks for your help man

 

They are charging me 325 with installation included... Is it a good price?

 

they are pretty much the same thing....

 

Yes that actually an awesome price. One shop was charging me 500 plus and my Max was going to be a guinea pig for them... I backed out

 

I'm decided I will get the viper ... Thanks a bunch to all of you that help me a lot

 

but which viper system ? theres a couple of diff ones

 

LMAO at everyone saying GET VIPER, LMAOOOOOOOOOOO, CLIFFORD and VIPER ARE MADE by the same company DEI,

OP, either or and you are fine hahah. I have clifford 5902.x. I went with DEI brand name, i wanted a viper but after further research they both had the same features because they are made by the same company, lol

 

Not a waste of money at all.....but unless it has a built in force field it won't really keep the hell bent little sh*ts from scratching your car.

 

i know theyre made by the same company but i still have a preference for viper

 

I could talk about this all day (It's what I do for a living) But just go Viper.

 

WOW I did not know that LOL... I thought they were two different things. I don't do a lot of research like you...thanks for the tip LOL..

 

Yea Viper and all the main brands are all made by the same companies.

Also it depends what Viper system you're talking about. The VSS systems are complete crap, you can read their reviews online people think they're worthless. The Viper 5901 and 5902 (that I have) are great and can have tons of add-ons. The similar models offered by Clifford etc are great as well.

Now to address your original question. Will adding a Viper 5902 with shock sensors help you prevent your car from being scratched? No. The Viper 5902 adds shock sensors which are triggered by impacts to the car, so scratching most likely would not set that off in my opinion unless they were slamming into it at the same time.

Something to note about Viper is if you buy your parts online you'll void the warranty on it even if it's installed by an authorized dealer. Reason is lots of refurbished parts end up online re-packaged so Viper doesn't stand by any of that. I paid $800 (yes $800, all the quotes around here were 800 and up) for my Viper 5902 to be installed with several add-ons.

 

To the OP: If you don't want your car getting scratched, install 3M clear bra or place barbed wire or Hire 4 body guards or install wireless cameras where you park.

 

yea a buddy has a webcam pointed at his driveway out the window and he stopped someone from stealing his roof spoiler. a little 15 dollar camera can go a long way

 

Thanks for all your help ghozt... By the way you car looks so sexy :-)... I'm going to get the viper 5902.

 

O_o not a bad idea... A body of mine knows how to put cameras I'm gonna think about it...
