I added another cheap mod to my to do list and thought others might like to as well.......

Anyway the stillen grounding kit is <$100 and is worth while putting in. Found my old Z (z32 TT) ran much better after I installed the grounding kit FYI! Just reduces the interference from other electronics.

Very curious to see this installed in someone else's z and it really looked like crap.

I did the grounding kit and I didn't like the look so I did it again using 1/4" black plastic flex conduit from Harbor Freight over all the wires so it blends in and looks like the factory wiring harness. My kit was red and it just looked out of place to me. Just my opinion.

That's good to know, good tip +1repped! I know it doesn't look that good in my old Z but at least it is some thing functional. I think I might go with the black conduit to help blend it in when I do it.

They offer a silver kit, which might look better but for me this was one mod that was better unseen.

I have a Kenwood HU. The great thing about this camera setup is it replaces one of the license plate lights. Daytime viewing is great, night viewing is poor. For $16, my expectations were not very high!
