Talking Flush Mounted Screen in Dash

Welp after getting sick and tired of my Alpine IVA-D300 I decided it was time to step it up and just put a screen in the dash. The problem obviously was fitment and room. So I had to move the climate controls from the top all the way to the bottom where the ashtray went. I removed the ashtray modified the climate control unit and wala enough space lol.
Thanks to RMMGS4 for his help, Hameed, D2 and Bluelex for helping with ideas and listening to me btch abouhttps://www.clublexus.com/gallery/data/500/15064dashcomp-med.jpgt how long it took. Here are the pics (bad ones at that)

not bad at all, it's really smooth

just curious, you took away the ash tray and put the climate controls there, isn't that a bit too low?
