It will definitely look more like an F-Series screen. I hate the OEM flip design and I hate more the android e89 design, that has no point to be put so low into the "frame" since there is no flip mechanism.

I'll keep you guys posted when I get everything measured and ordered.
Sounds like a good project.
One point though, the reason why it is so low is because the centre vents are high and thus to give a decent screen size and not to obstruct your vision out of the windscreen then that is why it was mounted like that.
