Im gonna throw in a Kenwood Excelon in the Z, and Im really leaning towards doing a single din setup, everyone has the double din, I like the the option of removing the faceplate for anti-theft purposes.. (especially where I live)

You should just move.

Seriously... I would not tolerate living in constant fear of theft.

The "norm" isn't always the best

Personally I like saving hundreds of dollars. But I am crazy like that

Im on the verge of getting an HU. Amazon ALWAYS has close out sales on highend kenwood stuff. You can snag a excelon series for under $500 easy.

It was only $350ish on Amazon Prime. Then another few bucks for the Metra harness and antenna adapter.
