Default Cubby hole replacement

So in my old Civic SI i took the navigation dash piece and did some modifications to it (fiberglassing) to fit a screen in to look factory... is there a replacement piece besides the navigation dash that i could use to begin my process? i want to mount a 7" android tablet in there.

ideas?

No. Once you pull it out it's wide open though.

I too had the same idea. Once you pull out the cubby hole u can put everything back together...

Here's what my finished product looks like. I took my cubby to a audio shop to have it modified for the screen.

It's not a tablet in there. just a touchscreen lcd with a nettop running the OS. It would be a little tough to put a tablet in there with a charging connection. Unless you have a right angle miniusb cable and the tablet takes miniusb.

I had a shop do it, I am not that skilled.
They basically took the screen and did a mold and wrapped it in a nice material.

Here is a day time shot:


This was a test car for Baker Tuning, same audio shop did this install but slightly differently:
