I hear you bro, I got 10 years on you and I don't have 1200 lying around for an alarm either. Honestly though, I would just get a stereo shop special and an autolock. I say this because unless you have an anti-carjack system, digital tilt/motion sensor, or immobilizer on ur alarm, it's just an alarm. I've got all of the above, and then some, on my alarm and an Autolock.
You can get everything you mentioned from several car alarm companys for 250-300 bucks installed.
But yeah im sure most of the people on here know what being in this position feels like, this is my first car, i just got it a week or so ago, and am now almost broke, had to take a loan to even get it so now i am really screwed on having money to mod it for quite a while, luckily the people before me upgraded the stero, so i can live with it...for now
Plans...Alarm, intake, exhaust (hopfully re-do whole cat-back, depending on cash flow), stereo, lower/re-do suspention (sway-bars, stuff like that)...
Dont know exactly what order, but hopfully it will get done sooner or later.
