I must say, you're the first person who's ever been concerned with what an aftermarket CD player looks like when placed in the dash next to an Empeg.

Have a browse through the (paper) Crutchfield catalog while you've got a photo of the Mark2 up on the computer screen. That should give you enough to go on.

Any other suggestion on what I should do with the extra space?

Assuming you don't find any CD players you like, umm.... din-sized GPS receiver? Weather radar? AutoPC? Center channel speaker? Photos of the wife and kids? Police/CB radio scanner?
