WOW! what to do with aol trial box (or DVD box)

I know, many of us have some type of hole lin your dash because you have put an after market stereo right? Well I today discovered the AOL trail installer CD that is sent to homes across America... (its actually a DVD case...) is a "PERFECT" fit for covering the hole in the dash.
What you do is simply cut the DVD box in half, and use the side that does not mount the DVD (or CD.. in aol's case). If you do not have any stereo installed, and only have the metal side stereo mounting brackets, you will find this "cover" even clips on to the the bottom of the metal brackets. Yup.. it even clips right on.
In my case, I had to cut two holes because I have a stereo, and I have that plastic pocket that fits under the stereo. I had a hole between and this actually looks good. I have pictures, but I have nowwhere to host them yet... So I try and get these up here somehow.
Oh, and the AOL box has some clips (used to hold the inside details paperwork of a DVD...) and it can be used to hold somethig as well. I say try it for yourself.

Just realized I can attach a file.. (oh, well)
Here's an example to give you an idea of what I'm talking about. I actually cut another hole on the bottom because I have that plastic storage hole thing in mine, so I cut those clips out. But the clips can hold something...
I'll try and post a picture of the finished product later.
