New Dashboard parts are in at the dealer! What should I do while its all apart?

I got the letter and the service tech verified the cracks were in need of replacement, parts are in and now I'm wondering if I should do anything while they have the big parts out of the way. My thoughts are:

To add some sound deadening while its out. I plan on doing the rest of the truck when I get the new head unit.

Add some wiring, I have a secondary 12v tucked under the dash. I kind of want to put an inverter down there if I find enough space. perhaps add a slave OSB2 slave port so I can run a scan-gauge along with the wireless monitor I keep plugged in already

Anything else y'all can think of?!?

Also does anyone have thoughts on Toyota Lewisville in Texas they did my last oil change and ordered the parts for my new dash or any of you local North Texas people have any recommendations for shops in the area? I live in Argyle TX.

I'd probably change the light color on the dash... orange isn't my favorite.

Get the in dash A/C -heater components checked out and replaced if needed.

Im curious when you are going to do all this? Do you think the dealer would stop working half way through and let you do all that stuff?

Haha no I'm sorry if I gave that impression I'm thinking thinking of doing most of the work before I take it in for them to install the new dash, I figured that Id save them a few steps and do the tear down and just leave in or loosely reinstall components to get it over to the shop. I wouldn't expect them to wait around while I do some mods.

I actually like the orange I know its not the most liked color but different strokes for different folks I guess
