As Jeff can tell you from dealing with me from the last few days I am no audio installer. I had my dad, whose a retired Volvo/BMW tech of 40 years, cut the dash bracket down for me and pretty much just went with it for the rest of the install. I definitely didn't go all out with looking for better ways to do it so my install might not be the best but it will definitely be a confidence builder for those who are considering doing this as a DIY.

I like how you have positioned the GPS antenna. I will probably revisit my install and reposition it there as well.
Concerning the mic - I'm not a fan of that position. Yes, it's tucked away, but if (once in a blue moon, granted) you're driving with someone else in the car, and the passenger would like to talk as well, it would be very hard for the receiving party to hear your passenger. In my case, when I drive with my wife, we receive phone calls from the kids for example, and it's either her or me or both talking to them. having the mic dead center where the OE mic slot is, makes for perfect reception for the receiving party. But again, at that instance, I position the mic to whoever is talking - the mic is unidirectional (It's tilted to the driver usually, but when we both talk - like conference call - then I rotate it to the middle, if this makes sense).
