just get a blue or red LED...hook it up to a switch and some sort of circuit board so it will flash like every 2 seconds.....that should deter them....its cheap n may "imitate" some people.....haha...thats wat i would do if cause i dont have the money....

I have a pissed off baboon that i keep in my trunk. Woe to the bastard who touches the BLACK Mustaaaaannnnnnng!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The only way they are going to steal your car... guy... is if they have a chipped key..
If you try to hotwire it, use a non chipped key or any of that it will kill the fuel pump, there is a nice fat hidden red button in your trunk on the left hand side of your trunk that is the reset button. Can this be overcome? Well, yeah, a seriously good booster can do this without trouble, but it is not worth the effort for a used mustang gt with a bad bumper. <grin>
I dont think the 95 Gt's had that feature.
I wouldnt even worry about it. If somone wants your car they will need a flatbed trailer to take it to a shop to crack the code. Anyone with that level of stealing sophistication is not gonna steal yer pony, they will be looking for a Ford GT instead.
Trust me, with the built in security system, nobody is gonna waste thier time for your car. But that doesent mean they wont sit there and give you a nice set of pinstripes with a set of keys.
My advice, if you get anything go with viper, cause if you get close to it it will go off, that alone should keep the morons away.
What you really have to worry about are the amatures that dont know about the fuelpump kill and will try to steal yer car, cant get it hotwired, and then decide to vandalize the crap out of it. No security system will stop vandals if they really have the hankerin for causing trouble.

Thats real bad what happened to that Cobra but it could of been stolen on a Flatbed and with no alarm sounding no1 will notice. I say get an alarm that makes noise plus the new Clifford has a paging system so if someone is messing with your Stang your alarm pad will notify you.

. not sure what an alarm can do about that but it makes him feel safer.
