EBay has underdash radio enclosures. Has anyone used one of these? Look like heavy duty poly. They also have some aftermarket consoles that look like they would fit and hold my coffee. Looking forward to cruising with the top down, listening to some tunes, and sipping my coffee.

It certainly isn't stock, but it has served me well through multiple radios.
