true, but i cruise at 65mph on the fit. while the car can go faster it gets kinda tiresome because of its narrow, tall, and light frame.. with a short wheel base its not the most stable car at high speeds, and crosswinds are not nice.

most of my driving is on surface roads so im okay with it.

awesome man... dude, the head unit turned out fantastically... the rear view camera is badass... I like it bro. Still trying to figure out all the features, but it definitely makes me want to drive the Z a lot more.

My cousin works at Gentex and got me one of the rear view mirrors with the little lcd screen in it although I have been looking at Head units for a bigger screen to use with the camera. Decisions, decisions.
