Bare boards? Or Partially stuffed? Well, it looks like the ELM320 is an 8-pin PIC, making the board POSSIBLY "bendable" into a general purpose "8 pin PIC with a crystal, voltage regulator, and rs232 interface, (plus two other pins connected to "funky" electronics that you need not populate, and could connect to other things.) You might be able to get rid of them documenting them a bit along those lines... Potentially you don't even need to populate the crystal - the PCB has nice holes that you could use to connected those to something else. But having the voltage regulator and rs232 interface is sorta handy...
