Default Radio swap and new interior for 91 ls 400

I'd like to retro fit my Lexus with the optional cd-changer. I believe all I need is the radio control unit and the changer from a donor car is that correct? would it be easier / less expensive to use an after market radio?

Is there a vendor that sells a complete interior for the ls 400. My seats look horrible and if possible I'd like to change the carpet and door panels too.

IMHO I would just buy an aftermarket cd player. Easier, cheaper. Start burning songs onto disc. You can fit 120 songs onto a disc, no more need for cd changer.

Checkout leatherseats.com for leather seat covers that look great.

Yup, aftermarket is generally cheaper and easier to install.

You just missed out on the Leatherseats.com group buy by a week.

Sure will. I am sure you will need some sort of an adaptor ring to fill out the gaps around the edges, since it is not a perfect rectangle.

has to be custom made, only DIN panels made for the 1/2 LS are single din.
