I have a Viper 550ESP Alarm/Remote Starter.
I'm very satisfied with it!
Basic unit/install was $500 at Mobile Fantasy in So. Cali. Most likely this doesn't help you in NJ!

Does the Viper 550 do the two-step auto door unlocking that the stock alarm does?

no it doesn't disable the stock alarm and no it doesn't void the warranty...it should cost $700-$800 installed...

Viper 550ES for $500 is cheaper 
Do you know of any other remote starters?
BTW, does any of these work on a car with manual transmission?
I want to put one on my wife's S2000 as well.

I got my key from my local Acura dealer, they just programmed the key and left it uncut!

I'm sorry. I didn't know fob has a different meaning in Californian language.
A fob is a small pad or chain type of thing.
key fob or key fobs are the terms manufacturers use to describe that little thing that you might call a "remote".
I usually call it key chain or remote, but Acura has been calling it a key fob.

For just a remote starter, Best Buy and Circuit City's have $150 ones. If you know someone who works there, you can get it installed for ~$60.
But I recommend against it for our cars. TL's are too good for that. My parents have a cheap Winstar that I put one on. Works just fine.

No, the Viper doesn't do the two-step auto door locks like the stock one does. That was actually my complaint too! You can modify the Viper alarm to do that, but will just take up another channel on your remote. I didn't opt for it cause I used up all my channels already (windows roll down, trunk release).
