Default What to do with the ugly hole.



</P>


I recently pulled my old factory stereo out and replaced it with a single din cd player, which in my 2000 that leaves a hole where the old cdplayer used to be. I have seen pockets you can install off ebay and i think it would kinda get old. So my ? to you is are there any alternatives. I did see a hiddin storage pocket on ebay once awhile ago, it would look like a plastic wall untill you pushed some button or somthing and it opened. Thanks</P>

sorry didnt realize that the 2000 still had the 94-99 set up with the radio and a separate cd player </P>


you could custom fab a blank plate to fit inside the hole or you could spend some more money get and indash flip out tv and a separate din sized dvd/cd player</P>


only other thing i can think of is leavin the cd player in the slot so there is no hole</P>


"were there is a will there is a way"</P>

Just get the stock pocket that goes there, like in cars that only have a single din radio, you can get them from ford and there like $17, it may get "old" but it looks a hell of a lot better than a hole in the dash!!! plus it looks factory since it's a ford part.
