Suggestions on tint and alarm

I know theres a lot pic at the graphite grey section. But i just want to know what percent of tint you use for your evo. And are u satisfied with it. I want black all around but not too dark in driver side. So still legal wise. Any pics and ideas will help. Especially on GG
Also, whats a good affordable alarm system? around $200-300ish.
Any links and videos will help.

I am also very curious about a good alarm system set up. Yesterday, I had a coworker call and tell me there were two guys taking pictures of my car. It sketched the hell out of me.

From my experience in the honda game, I can tell you that the alarm you choose has little importance in comparison to the actual install. A crappy alarm properly installed is safer than the best unit installed traditionally under the steering column. But anyways you can get something like the viper 5901 ( dei product same as python + clifford). Get a dei tilt sensor wich makes alarm go off if the car is lifted for a tow, or to steal your wheels. Get a backup battery wich runs the alarm if the battery cable is cut. Also get piezo sirens for the interior of the car. Then get yourself an installer that is familiar with stealth installs and go from there.

I bought a refurbished Viper 5901 last year for $200 on eBay but install should cost the same. The 5902 remote can be used with it and has tons of features.

It's not uncommon for your Evo to get photographed. I get more fanboys in my Evo than when my uncle let's me take his 360 Modena for a spin.

Clifford intelliguard 700 with proximity sensor. Can't go wrong with its blackjax feature. Google it for more info.
