The plastic unit should just click right in, though I had to send for a new piece 3 times due to defects. Are you using the metra part? If so it is probably factory defect if it does not fit. As for fitting the double din stereo, your stereo will come with mounting brackets that will make for an easy fit.

I drive an 03' and have installed a double din in it.

Nope I thought about it but the double din that I installed had a shell around it that I could take which gave me enough room to mount it. Are you using the metra dash kit or the lexus one?

Are you having an issue with the dash kit, or the actual double din unit?
