Default Double-DIN Mounting Solution?

i want to mount a double din head unit or navigation unit into my xB, but i can't find anyone that sells brackets or any other mounting hardware for the xB, since the hole in the dash is non-standard size; i really think a single din in a hole that big looks really lousy, so my options are to leave it stock, or find someone who makes an adapter/installation kit. anyone know where i could find something like that, or am i SOL?

This is my dash, i custom fabricated my kit, and used the factory radio bracket, I used abs plastic, and used cat hair to bond it to the factory dash, Urban legend is you can modify the matrix dash kit to work, I have not tried it yet. Bill

I used the factory bracket and attached it to my double din head unit. did a little bending of the metal and it fits perfect adn securely. As far as the gaps on the side I used plexi glass painted silver.
