Default new pics of my ls and radio install

I just got done with the radio install and a wash. Thought I would share it with you guys. For the two gaps between the radio and the sides, I have a buddy that is going to make me something that will match the wood and continue it from the console to the radio sides. In the meantime, let me know what you think. By the way, I got the radio off ebay...$160. It is a new dvd, cd, radio, tv, and it can be connected to a camera from the back. Also, you can plug your mp3 player into it. I think one hell of a deal!

Thanks. I wish I could drop it, but funds are a little low right now. By the way, what and where would be a good way?

What Brand is that unit that you have installed in your car, and where can I find the specs for it. I am looking for something similiar to that for an LS 400 that I intend to buy. Do you do the installations yourself?

Maybe a different shot of the modded radio plate during the daytime?

It looks a little shiny...

Ya its not the shiny part. It's just that it doesnt look smooth and it looks purple. The gloss looks okay, but since its really bumpy it doesnt look too good.

It looks OK. Not terrible, but not great either. I too would have to see it in better lighting conditions. If it weren't for the high gloss it would look 2x better.

How did you mount that thing in there? Is it secured at all? The unit definitely seems like a good deal. How is it working?

Matching the stain in the center is tough and I think it doesn't look too bad. I'm sure it looks better in person.
