Island Sound is one of the oldest local shops (20+ yrs) and arguably has had the best reputation over the years. Nothing against the other shops but right now they're the only ones I'd let work on my STI.

About the alarm.....its not uncommon for Clifford alarms w/options to go for $900+ (there's a reason Viper is cheaper), but it sucks they charged him more.
What options did you go with (I'm guessing pre-entry, paging, etc)? Was this a solid quote or was it a rough quote due to certain options?
I've been dealing with Hank a lot lately so if you'd like I can talk to him and try and help you work things out. Just give me some info

Security and Sound is pretty good. I had a couple of positive experiences with them. They were cool, prices were fair, and they did good work. I had one negative experience with them though, which will forever turn me away from them. I've steered others away from them as well.
Right now, I'd recommend Installtech. They did a Clifford 750 alarm install, WITH the turbotimer function on my girlfriend's car for $400. That INCLUDES installation. That was 200 bucks less than what Island Sound quoted me.
They did a quick, quality install, they know their stuff, and were very polite.

hey man,
I did my alarm and tint at Special-T-Tinting, they are on Dillingham, near the H&R block (after costco)
They are good and professional. Ask for Kyle or Dustin.
Note:
They do tint, alarm, and sound.

Did you notice the dents upon reciept of the vehicle or later ? Most if not all sounds shops do a pre vehicle inspection before performing any work to look for dents, scratches, etc. Is it possible that you got the dents after ? If not that sucks man and I'm sorry to hear about your car.

My friend Keith has been doing alarm, tint & sounds for me on my last 6 cars over the past 7 years. This last time he disappointed me. His attitude is that he has the Suby dealers in his back pocket...that's where his money is at. Sometimes it hurts to have "friends" in the business. After this incident, I feel that all installers will have a bad day...just don't go to them on their bad day. Sorry about your STI.

I'm sorry man on your experiences. I purchased my speakers, amp, alarm, tint and did the full custom install at Special T Tinting & Mobile down off of Dilingham. The owner is awesome and the installers are cool, Efrin and Adam. Talk with Efrin and say Noren from I-club sent you. They will hook u up. They are good ppl and stand behind their products and install. I got my Clifford RS for $700. My entire purchase from them was $3200 and I'm pleased 110%. If we meet sometime, I'll show you my setup. I drive Blue STi w/ Gold SSR Polish lip.
