Default Replacing head unit question.....dash insert?

I just replaced my stock cd/tape deck with a Pioneer. Is there any sort of insert or sleeve or compartment type of thing I can get to fill the bottom slot (see picture)?

I don't want just a piece of plastic blocking that space, but rather maybe something functional for storage.

The mounting kit I got had a storage compartment for single DIN systems. I put in a double DIN so didn't use it. Here it is at crutchfield.

the thing he is talking about is only for the 94-00 single din console....i ordered the piece from my ford dealer....is was thirty-f*ckin-four dollars....i coulda went to a junk yard to find a 94-98 WITHOUT a cd player...because the casette only stereo had the same pocket....check out my car domain...i have a pic of my radio and the lower pocket with my radio and cell phone in it...so yea you can order it from ford like i did...because i didnt want to drive around with my cd player on the bottom because it looks like sheit....and i didnt feel like tracking one of the older ones down..plus my pocket was brand new...

there is a universal din pocket that has a couple of different lips and mounting styles that will allow you to simply pop it in from the front. Shouldn't be more then $20 at a local dealer.

I know you dont want a blank piece covering thatspace but it makes for a good place to mount gauges or switches.
