I'm a new owner, and 26. But yeah, definitely seems like the average owner is 40 or so. That's the representation at the auto-x events, anyway.

Anyhow, I would love to get the AVIC-Z1 into my 986, and have been scheming about how to do it - I was thinking I had to buy some stock dash parts and modify them to create a double-DIN opening and leave a trim piece to fill the remaining inch or so of dash above the double-DIN unit (the dash is taller than a double-DIN, and you'd think they did it on purpose). If a dash kit like the one pictured exists for a 986, I would be ALL OVER IT. Please let me know if I can buy it somewhere.

Thanks!
