Does acura have a remote starter kit for auto CL-S's? If not, where should I start to look for one? Are they all the same, or should I being looking at certain brands only? Help me out...

Where are you in Pittsburgh ? I can set you up with a shop I know that have really good Installers.. I used to work there and they really know their shit. Otherwise go to Best Buy and Circuit City.

I'm 45 minutes northwest of the city. Down by Zelienople / Cranberry. What's the name of the place and where is it?

It's just off Mcknight road.. It's called Quintex.. I live in cranberry also so it's 20 minutes away. They are real cool there and the installers really know there shit which is always a bonus. Plus they'll take care of your car.

Is the price high in the range of remote starters? Is it low...medium...what? I haven't done any research yet, so I don't have any idea what the price range is and what, if any features I should be looking for or avoiding. I though I could start my research here and expand outward. I'll take as much information now as I can get.

So I am "green" on ALL the issues....
price...
features...
installation price...

everything!

If you want a remote starter, expect to pay at the minimum $450 bucks installed. With accesories, like hood pin, battery back-up, and other stuff, it came to just under $700 for the Viper 790. My 2-way remote broke twice, so I downgraded to the Viper 550. But the Viper 550 comes with 2 remotes.

DEI makes Clifford and Viper brands, sold at Best Buy and Circuit City respectively. Check around for prices, and go to a shop that can provide a custom install and warranty work-

It all depends on what you are looking to spend...
Most places either include the install or offer free install with the cost of the product.
One thing to look for is the range the Remote Starter will work. 1000 ft is about the range you will need. IMO anything less will be pointless b/c you'll want to start it from a good distance away.
Also I believe it is a good purchase b/c you won't be driving your car on a cold engine.. PLus in the summer time it works great with the AC...! Let me know what you're looking for.
