that trim only cost me $20 and it goes right under the speedo guage in this bend, so it would be right above the steering wheel and beside the digital speedo...
the screen is going to display song names, times and computer temps when im the gps mode...

Like the dash so far. Can't wait to see how it looks later on. Regarding the VFD Are you running Windows or Linux? (I know in Linux theres lcdproc but haven't heard of anything similar in Windows).

glad to see someone else using a vfd, I'm planning one in my current install, its nice because mine has 25 button inputs, and 6 general purpose outputs to control basically anything. I'm using LCDC for my software

Im not sure what you mean? what would it obstruct? it will be destracting for sure, the vent isnt obstructed either... My first virsion was had the vent cut in half, but im a bit glad that that one got destroyed...
I think that yours is comming along nicely...
