The lens hood is really cool. What polarizing filter do you use?
I wouldn't be able to use the GpS mount, as the proper operation requires a metal backing directly (ground plane) for it to function optimally. It's clever, but GPS is critical for all the proper Racelogic acceleration, position and speed measurements.

for the gps mount, yea, i have read the documentation, if this was a cup car or something, sure, but with the aluminum body and carbon fiber roof and not wanting to have wires hanging outside the car, etc, i choose this solution, i have been to 6 track days since i installed, i have not had 1 issue with GPS signal, so its good enough for amateur tracking for fun setup IMHO
also the metal ground plane is to block reflections from the ground, with the GPS in the back with the car and the carpet, i think any reflective signals are effectively blocked or insignificant. that racelogic document for roof mounted gps and makes sense given that setup.
example of the rainbow effect from using polarizer with Xpel 0% tint on the windshield:
