Question Good uses for the useless dash void

Who has the best idea for using the useless dash void pictured here:

If you don't have an ashtray, you get this void.

It depends on the look your going for really...You could just find a piece of plastic and paint it to match the interior and glue it in place there Or you could do something like Mount an Ipod there. Lets see the pics of whatever you decide to do.

It's the perfect little spot to fab up a switch panel. I always end up setting my wallet in there. Mine is a little different though.

Oh, yeah my 05 STX had that. I used it to mount both my bass **** and my flat push button switches for the LED's that I ran on the inside. Besides than, not much use

I am going to use it for my government ID cards so they are with in easy reach when I am coming in to the base.

You could mount a trailer break controller

Wow, I had no idea. I have a slide out second set of cup holders there, and then a little bin below that.

If anyone has any pictures, it would liven up this thread a lot. Other stock configurations? Button set ups?
