Hole in the dash, need cover up ideas

Okay, I have a nice big hole in my dash from my gauges (less than 1x1" in size but very noticeable) and I need ideas to cover up the hole. I was planning on doing a dash swap and giving the other person a kick ___ deal on the gauges, but that's going to possibly be a hassle. I have a navigation unit on my Accord, and it has a flat black disc that sticks to the dash, to provide the navigation unit a nice mounting surface, so I was thinking about using that and just giving that Navi away with the tC when I sell it (only paid $80 for the thing anyway).
Anyway, does anyone else have any ideas? The hole is right smack in the middle of the dash lol.

If its nice and centered you could try placing a scion badge over it.... not the best in the world but would look better than the hole maybe. Assuming you want to cover it without spending a lot of dough or time.

Well I won't really have to spend any extra money with the Navi, simply because I already have a cheap unit that I don't mind using. The only purpose it serves, is being a speedometer/trip for my Accord, since the speedo on that doesn't work.
Have you considered using gauge blanks? It would give a clean look without the expense of gauge internals. The next owner could put whatever instrumentation they wanted and already have the holes. A little less ricey then putting in a bunch of disconnected voltmeters because they're the cheapest.

I don't mind spending the money, I've already ____ed a few hundred into the car buying things to get it back to stock, but I just want it as stock as possible.
