I assume you didn't get the HU from a store like best buy or circuit city. They should have sold you a mounting kit with it. Goto one of the forementioned stores, or any audio shop and ask for a kit for your car. It will come with everything that you need to get rid of the gap.

Just tell them you need a mounting kit for your car. Usually they will be Metra brand and should run you anywhere from $15-$20

If you haven't already, be sure to get a wiring harness as well so you don't have to cut your factory wiring (again if you haven't already)

I think that the installation kits usually run around 15-20 bucks.I have personally seen the kits at Wal-mart.I have also seen them at all the sound shops here around Ga.As far as what you would call it..hmmmmm..installation kit I guess.Hope this helps.
