Another post prompted this question... I am just curious if there are any other things that fit well underneath a new HU besides the dash pocket. The thing seems like it is kind of unattractive. What are my options?

I believe there is a manufacturer who makes a in-dash single din 6cd changer. You could check that out. Also you can put a screen in the the empty space if you're so inclined.

What is the diameter of one of those gauges? It would be cool to get one of those guage cutouts, and to make something else to put in there. I would but some kind of strange artsy thing probably

My single DIN EQ looks sexy in there! Of course that'll only help if you plan to run amps.
