Default Stereo install kit that keeps the drawer at the bottom, any ideas?

I just started driving my '03 lx again and am slowly getting started on getting some upgrades put in. I decided to begin with a new head unit, I have it narrowed down to the Pioneer Premier P690ub. While looking for kits to get it in the dash all of them seem to leave out the drawer at the bottom, i kinda like having a spot where I can keep things semi hidden, anyone know of a kit that keeps this?

I have that one as well, but no squeaking. Its probably the best cause it lets you keep your security bolts. It fit great and looks awesome.

I'm about to install a new head unit in my car as well... Sorry to butt in, but which adapter kit is the most secure? I'd like to keep the door too, however, I'd sacrifice it for a tighter fit. I couldn't quite tell from your posts if the single din or double din adapter was better in keeping the security bolts.

Thanks.

BTW--Is this the same kit that Crutchfield sells?
