concealing a new deck..
my stereo was recently stolen, all but my speakers, and i am gonna buy a plain jane alpine cd/cdr deck... however i want to somehow cover the stock spot for it with a plate or something and hide the deck in the glovebox or under a seat...
anybody know anywhere to find this type of accessory for the stock place and/or any pics of a similar setup?? in the future I would use the plastic plate to mount guages..
thx!!

I'd gladly take the extra 5 seconds to remove the face on my deck now, and just as gladly deal w/the bulky summamabitch in my pocket
