Message Patrick is an old friend, but I'll try to be as truthful about it as I can.

I got my grc a few weeks ago. It was one of the first sets Patrick started selling. It was difficult to install it cause the instructions aren't very good. I had to call him a few times for him to explain it to me. It took me about a day to install it and set it up. But after using it and driving with it for a while it was well worth it. I have a 2 screen model. I have Innovate LC1 left bank on left screen center and right bank on right screen center. Fuel pressure, oil pressure, boost pressure and coolant temperature. Today I got a chance to take off my pillar gauges. I hated driving around with it. Having them in the cluster now makes the car feel more complete.

Pros
Cleans up the interior of the car and makes it feel complete and updated
I thought it would be hard to read but they are actually bright and visible. I can sit back and drive and I can see everything that's going on in a glance.
My oil pressure is more stable and doesn't fall to nearly 0 after a few minutes of driving anymore.
It's great having all of my gauges in one spot

Cons
Manual is pretty bad
Loading the first screen is slow. Patrick said he is working on a firmware update to speed it up
I wish there were more backgrounds. I wanted to make the background look like the stock Z but there's only one. Patrick said he will be releasing more backgrounds for it that can be updated through the USB. He also told me how I could make my own so I might give that a try when I'm not doing anything.

For the transaction, I'll tell you what I know about Patrick because what I say here will be the most biased. He has a full time job and he does this on the side. He hand assembles every one of them and ships them out personally. He has helped me a lot with my cars in the past and he knows a lot about these cars so I'm confident in what he tells me.

I like the product so I will be putting another one into the next Z that I get. I'll take some pics of it after work tomorrow.
