Default Secret compartment.....

I was driving home from school today and the rattles were annoying the crap out of me. I started pushing on the dash in different areas to see if i could stop the rattles. So i can to the grate were the center dash speaker would be if i had the Mark Lev. sound system, but im not lucky enough to have that option.... I push on one corner and realized it will come up easily. When i got home i took a credit card and popped the speaker grate up. Underneath is a hole that lead to some wires. Its basically wasted space. I found a small cup to put in the hole so whatever i put in there doesn't get lost in the dash. Then simply replaced the speaker grate. Its very simple and now a perfect secret compartment for anything you wish not to be found.......
