After looking at Electrochromic Modification I want to add that to my stealth suit and preset it to look like normal clothing.  Jean and T-shirts and such, that way at a distance it looks just like a set of average clothing, combine that with a duster or the Greatcoat Coat that might be a very effective disguise.

Electrochromic was sadly not mentioned in Run & Gun.  As of right now, Rules as Written, it's only allowed as an add-on for clothing and armored clothing, but not any of the fashion-armors in the Core Book or Run & Gun, nor as a sub-function of RPC, although it would make sense if it it was.

It's a shame too.  I like Electrochromic as a concept between "my shirt is red" and "I'm a Predator like in that movie Predator."  Electrochromic armored clothing (define them as Worker's Coveralls) is a go-to item for social infiltration.  With a simple matrix search you can get them to match the pattern of what ever kind of worker you need to pretend to be to walk into a building.  Matrix-Service-Provider, HVAC, EMT, Pest Control, Janitorial, Locksmith, etc.  Add in a clipboard and the appropriate set of tools and no one is likely to question why you need access to the fiber-optics lines, basement, roof, elevator shaft, etc.  "Why yes that is a set of lockpicks and maglock sequencers in my toolkit. Hey, your boss's boss, Mr. Vendorn?  Well his  secretary called me.  Apparently she lost the combination to the wall safe and needs me to get that sucker open before Mr. Vendorn fires her.  What, did you think I'm world's stupidest thief or that I'm wearing a jumpsuit with 'E-Z-Key' on it because it makes my butt look good?" or the personal favorite: "We're paramedics, there's a CPO on floor 15 having a hear attack!  Either get out of our way or accept the backlash when he's dies because you wanted to scan our kits and run our IDs!"

My team did something similar when we had to break into a movie studio that had a lab on top of it, the team face and rigger posed as a moving crew and were getting ready to film a commerical and we wanted our equipment there for the shoot tomorrow..  After our decker, who has high ranks in forgery, forged a fake business website and IDs to go with it we come in and drop very large boxes of equipment in the storage room.  Of course inside those boxes of equipment was a gun adept, a steel lynx, the team decker and our specialist.  After having fitted the cases out with little jammers to fool the scans and placing a 2 hour air supply in them.
