Default Bin Replacement

Yes, I've seen some old posts before on this, but, I can't seem to find them now. Does anyone know where I can find a bin replacement? I installed an aftermarket HU that I believe took up "1 bin" space. I understand I need a bin that takes up 2/2.5 slots? Any help is appreciated

its only a 1 din pocket though, so you will need to custom fab a lil strip of ABS to fill the 1/2 din hole at the bottom.

heres what mine looks like.

Now for the other 1 din of space, you have alot of options: pocket, plexiglass, plastic, or if you're a true pimp (like myself ), you'll get a SoundKase 4 CD holder

I already ordered the Soundkase, Im picking up the pocket very soon, and then Im ordering my Panasonic HU. I CANT WAIT

Not to rain on your parade man but that metra pocket didn't work out for me when I tried it a few months ago. It wouldn't fit right or bolt up...I was informed of this fact by the CC guy even before I bought it but I just had to try it. Turns out he was right and when I went back to return it the next day the same dude was staffing the returns desk and just watched me walk up to him with this funny smile on his face LOL
Anyways, I got a 1-DIN pocket from Sound domain (the plastic does not match - it's textured) and am now on the hunt for some smooth glossy ABS plastic that I can mold and cut to replace both the 1-DIN pocket and the extra 0.5 DIN empty space.
It may sound like a lot of work but my sound system is bangin'
