It just wouldn't look right without the old radio, what I did was had a friend laser cut and shape a fitted aluminum console, that rests as far forward as possible below the dash. It's finished with black carpet, and includes 2 hidden speakers (it's pretty airy carpet, so the sound doesn't seem to be muffled by it) a cd player, and a little compartment for sunglasses or anything small. It pretty sweet, and blends in nicely.
