Where can I get a double DIN "screen/dust cover"?

After installing my new Alpine IVA-W200, I noticed it sticks out about 3/4 of an inch. I'd like to buy (or make) a dust cover for the screen, to provide protection from the sun/dust and maybe as a "slight" theft deterrent. I didn't have any luck searching on Google. I can probably have TAP Plastics make one, but that might be expensive. Anyone have an idea on this?

A couple of companies include them with a double din HU. I can't remember if it was Eclipse, Clarion, or Pioneer, but one of them made one and included it in the box. Maybe you can recess the HU by drilling new holes in the metal frame that holds the HU.

Well, it's only going to cost $45 for TAP plastics to make a dust cover (5 sided box) and I'll just line the inside with something soft and lint free. I don't think I could recess the deck using the OEM bracket. I didn't see enough room on the bracket to mount it deeper, even if I drilled new holes. (99 maxima)
