No offense but flip outs were nice years ago but no so much anymore unless you have no other choice. Why not add a double din unit in there and have everything you need? I know a great guy that can make it happen. 
It also helps in thest, with the flip in, it kind deters theft a little bit, just because if you take a quick glance, its just a stereo
and btw, mine came with the truck and I refuse to mod the interior, I like it stock, it will help when I take it in to trade her in for a new rango. all those mods are nice, but don't add value at a dealer :-)
Also when you do mods of the dash or stuff like that, too much room for error!
When you go to put it in, be sure to run a new ground wire for it, the wiring harness will run the ground through the antenna, and that won't work!

If you like stock and want to keep stock then you can always buy another stock piece off ebay or a truck getting parted out or a salvage yard and replace it and the OEM radio and then sell the modified piece and double DIN. If that was not possible I would not be able to pay my bills. I deal with guys all the time wanting bezels and head units. There is no more room for error with a double DIN than there is with a single. I cant count how many custom bezels Ive done but I can tell you I have never had one sent back to me because they didnt like it.
Im not trying to talk you into one because you obviously like yours, but a thief is a thief. Going back to stock is always an option and errors are not an option with professional work
Very well said, either way I go Im looking for just two things wheel controls to still work, and built in bluetooth for the phone, since that is where all my music is anyway.
