best uses for the storage bin under the stereo...

i've come to the conclusion that this little space with its silly flip down door is really not useful, what do others think this space is best used for??

put some electronics there to fill the empty space. do you still have the stock cd player, a dvd player, equalizer.....just some ideas. personally the sky is the limit.

you can always take that little bin out and put your dvd player right there and put a 7" screen on top. it's my soon to be mod... only thing stopping me is $$$ and the screen.

You shouldn't leave your car's paperwork in the car. If it's ever stolen, the guy now knows where you live... not to mention he has the paperwork if he gets pulled over during the night until you report it stolen in the morning. I keep my paperwork in my wallet.

As for the little bin, I put pens, an air gauge for my tires, a little tin of fuses, a swiss army knife and stamps in there.

I keep my change in the ash tray/coin holder next to the 12v plug/lighter socket.

For sure, if you don't have a turbo or supercharger, go w/ audio accesories like equalizer/dvd player like prevously stated!

No way. Best space for boost controller would be where the clock is.
