Soon Civic owner?

For those of you who have versions of the Civic without a spare tire, you have probably noticed that the insert which holds the compressor and fuel tank funnel also has several other empty compartments. My questions are:

1. Do these compartments have officially intended uses?

2. What useful items have you put in these compartments?

I presently have a couple spare cans of Fix-A-Flat placed in one, and a pack of hand towels in another.

None.
I've stuffed a thinner gauge jumper cable kit into the deeper, more square cubby and a folded reflective vest into the shallow long cubby.

I doubt there are official uses for them.

I placed a small carry bag with Jumper cables in it. But ill be buying the "Spare Tire Kit" that is a actual spare and jack included.

I have a can of fix-a-flat as i plan on not running the run flat tires and i have a 1/2in spare ratchet and a deep well 19mm socket in case i need to remove the wheel and tire i also have a small bottle jack as that is all that will fit because its so little space back there.

Nope as soon as I found a spare tire kit at a some what reasonable price I bought it. There is no way I'm going to rely on a compressor to get me out of a bad situation.

I use the wider portion for my front license plate (although Texas requires a front license plate I haven’t had any problems not running it but I keep it there just in case) as well as for other small items I have replaced on my car including various bulbs such as interior lighting and brake lights that I have replaced. The deeper pocket I use for jumper cables because the stock Si battery dies quite quickly in accessory mode (you can find threads on it)

Jack, lug wrench, first aid kit, etc. No, it doesn't fit flat and no, I don't care. I got a fifth wheel with my summer tire setup that I will schlep around on road trips. Haven't figured out how to tie down the spare, but might try big pieces of styrofoam or something to wedge it in there.

Update: Cut up the box my sway bar came in so the spare fits in there snugly. Ready for a road trip!
