New dash arrangement, part two. i added two coats of matte clearcoat to the black to dull the semi-gloss and help blend into the interior better.

But my fav part is that both devices can be simply lifted off. And the Ultra Gauge bottons on the back of the device can be operated by pushing on the corners on the gauge face's frame.

Basic look:

UG attached with neodymium magnets and a used cellphone holder, screws contact buttons on back of the gauge:

Pressing fram to activate screen change:

Removing iPhone 5 bluetooth music device. Bracket made with used commercial refrigerator magnet, cut in half, and a cut portion of a used iPhone 5 case:

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
