Out of curiosity, does anyone know how hard it is to get that vent piece out of the dash/how hard it would be to plumb wires into it?
If you're looking for a screen, I highly recommend Adafruit or https://www.sparkfun.com/categories/76. They have a lot of plug-and-play options with PCB+driver+display solutions, and the support for their products is top notch.

If you ever have any Arduino related questions feel free to contact me. I've been toying around with them for years and have even designed my own scalable driver board for driving RGB LED's to give you an idea of current skill level:
