Pictures along the way:
ProClip cellphone dash mount installed. More information here.

Notes:
1) Use the plastic trim tool (if necessary) to aid in tucking the ProClip mount on the driver side of the infotainment center surround.
2) Don't force anything. I had to send back the first ProClip mount as it was bent and cracked from the previous dufus trying to force it.
3) Be safe. Only look at your phone when there's a gap in traffic or it's safe.
4) Total of (21) images on my personal build site with tons of information to complete the install.

How stable is this mount? I was looking to maybe use this to view data from my phone during a track day. Do you think it's solid enough for that?
 
Pretty damn solid. Your phone becomes one with the dash. I'm not gonna track my GRC, so I can't say this mount will 100% retain a phone while negotiating rumble strips at your favorite road course. I would be willing to take the chance though, because Louisiana roads haven't knocked my iPhone off it, and that's saying something.
Good to know it seems good quality. I was thinking of getting the A pillar mount from them.
 
Ended up ordering the UniClutch Track clutch along with a fitment kit since the manufacturer doesn't recommend the Standard or Sport variants for the GRC's AWD drivetrain. For now, I will keep the OE dual-mass flywheel.
Good call on the OEM flywheel. I talked with a time attack GR Yaris owner from Taiwan recently, and he said single mass flywheels have contributed to the synchro hub failures due to the vibrations and stress a SMF brings, even with Cusco synchro hubs. He suggests sticking with the DMF for reliability.
