The other modification was the false trip computer cover. I decided to just cut mine to the proper size and deal with it later if I was going to remove the V1. I'm not sure how you would get around cutting this.

MAKE SURE YOU TEST THE DISPLAY before putting the IC back in the car. The first time I did this mod some of the lights weren't working. I don't remember to well, but I think I had to check the connections to the power connector. The fact that I cannot remember leads me to believe that the problem wasn't major.
