welcome aboard yes you can add power locks & windows. if you don't want to carry a bunch of remotes make sure the alarm you go w/ has universal relays for the door locks (if your concerned about keyless entry) for an inexpensive car alarm I have used bulldog they are not bad and some are completely upgradeable. They also make a pretty cool talking alarm ( I've been tampered with I've been tampered with) fun but not upgradeable crimestopper is a decent inexpensive alarm system too ( completely upgradeable for around $100)
looks like on jcwitney.com (the first site I went to because I knew the carried this stuff) the top bulldog alarm is 129.99 and a powerlock/window conversion is 249.99 and they have good but not great prices so I'd call this an average. madmat38123.4699189815
oooh.... thats sumthin pricy for door locks and power windows.. is there an alarm any1 can find that is good, but doesnt have keyless entry? just somethin i can rely on because im going to add much more(subs and headunit) and i dont want anything to get stolen. Thanx
BestBuy has always been pretty good in low prices for car alarms and power locks combos. Atleast in my area. On my first talon, they did a complete installation of locks and alarm for about $230 and they used a Sidewinder System. They discontinued the Sidewinder and carry a lower quality system now for the about same price. However, power windows might cost you a little bit more. You can get the relays and motors from a GS or GST/GSX, the wires for everything is already there in the car, and just install them yourself. But that's a job for a true electrician. OEM electrical stuff is hard to figure out sometimes.
