Well, not a vet (soon to be) but still serving.

If its a quality carbon fiber hood, it should have a good clear gel coat on it. Some guys I know just wax the hood like normal to get protectants on it to keep the gel coat from yellowing.
I have an Autopage system that works pretty good, but I might get a Viper system soon. Get one with a pager so if you're in a building you'll know if your alarm is going off. Mine is good up to a 1/4 mile. Maybe you could start a thread and see what other members have and recommend.
PM sent.
You can request a factory alarm, but I would go aftermarket. BTW, my best time in the 1/4 mile was 13.70.
73VetteGirl, there is a way to completely disable the ESP so you can do those donuts without pulling fuses. PM me if you want to know.
