    Default New Headunit - Ideas for space under head unit

    Hi all, going to be putting my new headunit in the VT soon and as many threads have said 'there is alot of space underneath it'.

    I was wondering what ideas people have of what to do with the space? few i have
    - Leave open and put things in
    - cover with a piece of plastic the same as the rest of the car
    - cover that gives off a mirror reflection
    - possible holden badge or something on a cover
    - GPS? only worry is it is a bit low LOL
    - Fill it with blinding LED's? HAHA

    Any thoughts guys? Open open for suggestions, except for a DVD player or some usless crap like that, want it to look nice =)

    I like either the standard pocket. Or one option that I'm looking at myself, is a single DIN triple 52mm gauge holder.

    or if you can afford it why not go a double din screen
    Chev badges are an instant fail

    I've got a JVC dvdplayer / JVC Screen and it looks very neat. You say you want suggestions except for a DVD player or some usless crap like that, but then your thinking about putting leds or a holden badge there? You have a very strange opinion on whats useful and whats crap...
    If you can't afford another unit or must have a single DINN that looks ok, then you can get a tray from any car shop (eg.autobahn) for about $10 that will fill the gap and not look too cheap.

    Gauge face could be useful, depending on mods to ur car. Wouldn't do it to my car, as its stock.

    Here is my old VR New Headunit - Ideas for space under head unit-afr-tt-gauges.jpg.

    Had an Air/Fuel ratio gauge and a trans temp gauge. Left enough room for another.
