Single DIN flat cover

Hi does any one know where I can get a single DIN cover? I have a '97 maxima and want to put a DIN cover not a pocket. Would appreciate your help

Thanks

By the way it should preferably be flat no ridges and other ornate stuff.

Custom like dave said or you could get A kit from gmc or g.m. somthing like that...the ones that have a flat peice below instead of a pocket and take a whole saw to it and mount the gauges in like that.

try this, go to home depot or any other hardware store and buy a piece of plexiglass, cut it to the size of the hole, sand down one side of it with fine sand paper and spray paint it to the color u want. this way u only spend about 5 bucks and u can put holes in it to put in guages.

Its not just a piece of plastic. Its an entire braket Made by HKS. No, its not $5, but they are nice. With what folks spend on here for the Autometer gauge pods that only hold 2 gauges, I dont think its that bad a price, which I just checked and its $30. Heres a pic of the one that holds 1 gauge and two HKS electonics units, but you get the idea of what it looks like.
