MAN do I need search to work today.
Can anyone recommend alarm installers in Northern Virginia?
Can anyone recommend an alarm system?
Thanks guys, it's stupid to be attached to a car...
But I can't help myself.

Sorry to hear man. CompuStar FTW. My fob will beep just to let me know someone is near my car. Let alone set the alarm off. Thankfully I park in my garage at night and in a secure government parking lot during the day at work.
Hope everything works out for you!

That sucks man. Yeah I got my car and within 4 weeks, I had an alarm. I probably should have got a better one but it's a 2 way Viper and a bright as hell blond LED light by my shifter. If someone looks close, they can see the light blinking on the ceiling. I have a garage and live in a nice neighborhood but I don't trust anyone. If I didn't have a garage, I probably wouldn't even have gotten this car since it's so high profile.

To the op, I think the stock seats from mitsu are like $3000 a piece, but don't quote me on that. If you're looking to get the stock seats, go to google south coast Mitsubishi and click the link to buy parts online, the fill in the specs for your evo. I think each seat come in 2 pieces. If I were you, I'd have your insurance company cut you a check for the msrp for the stocks and us that to get yourself a seat of bride seats and you'll have some extra money for go fast parts plus an alarm.

One of the first things I got was an alarm. I have heard good things about the computstar.
The seats are a hot item to steal, I guess becuase they are very expensive. Make sure your insurance gives you what they are worth. You might want to consider getting some nice aftermarket ones since now would be the time if you wanted to upgrade. If I remember there was a bunch of this type of theft going on in the NOVA/MD area. Don't know if they ever caught the guys. Thiefs (especially car related) deserve everything bad in the world.

Here are the pics:
I hope and PRAY you DIE in those seats, you thieving scum!!
Hmmmmm. I'll have to talk to insurance peeps and see what's up. Car's already at the shop.
Thanks for the part lookup and MSRP info and good wishes, people!
BTW, as to assuming I had an alarm... my "crappy little" 2002 WRX Bugeye that I got for $22K (and love dearly even after a year with an EVO) has a fricking alarm.
YES I assumed my SSL EVO IX did too. Congrats to you, you're not as stupid as I am.

Here's the price of NON leather Evo seats: http://www.trademotion.com/partlocat...layCatalogid=0 the front set is gonna cost nearly 10 grand from the dealership. You'd have to contact a dealership for pricing on leather seats.
