Yeah the cam gets really good quality no matter what kind of weather you're in. I've heard of problems with the G1W (battery model) that in the extreme heat they have had serious issues. Living in Florida, that's the reason I got the G1WC (capacitor model).

How did you run the wiring? If you don't mind me asking that is. Did you have to lift up any panels or anything? If you could PM some pics on you ran it I would greatly appreciate it

Did you file it as a claim? I've been wanting to get my front refitted and a closer paint match on the PPW, but I have a $500 deductible which I could probably just go to a good shop and pay that without insurance knowing anything.

Curious.

I'm curious too..

I wouldn't file a claim on anything unless it's severe enough to counter the increase in rates for the 3 year period.

Yes, filed a claim. Because it's incidental, my rate will not increase according to the adjuster. The deductible will simply be reduced in the payment ($500). Also, I'm getting rims and suspension from the check.

I win.

Dude, it's legit: driving home in the dark. It started raining hard, didn't think much of it, so I continued to drive, was listening to the radio. Then I realized, wait a minute the roads aren't wet AND THATS NOT RAIN!!!!

It was a gravel truck raining gravel and sand on me!

Rock chips all over front bumper, hood, headlights, side mirrors, rear quarter panels.

Long story short, all of it has to be sanded prepped and painted, ALL OF IT.

How much would you charge of you were a body shop. Bear in mind, my Z needs to go back to OEM.

Finally got a stereo for the bish.

I really wanted to dabble with the double din Chinese android units but after reading all the nightmare stories trying to get them mounted, I decided I didn't have enough patience. Plus I liked the idea of having a pocket underneath for my phone. Anyone else have a big phone and have no good place to put it when a passenger is in the car?

Install took longer than expected, getting that center stack back together with the HVAC box in the way is a ***** at night. I plan(ed) to use Bluetooth 99% of the time but wanted rear output aux/usb because I hate wires dangling around while I drive. Didn't want to drill into the passenger side dash/center stack or center console cubby because that would be awkward and if I ever had a change of heart I'd have a big hole. So I used the little trim piece for the cars without heated seats. Turned out pretty good and ordered some coiled 90 degree cords in the event I needed them.

Sound is better than expected. Makes me realize how crap the OEM unit is. I thought I'd be replacing the speakers immediately, but after hearing it I can definitely live with it for a while.





And one of the outside for good measure...

I put my usb/aux on roof inside cubby and have a suction mount that extends out of cubby to mount the phone.. works great for GPS too!
