Pick up the trash in your car. lol


Nice install- did yourself? The HVAC controls are wider than the area they're mounted now, right? So you had to shave some off the sides there? And complete custom fab for all above it? Clean work.

That's really a great job.

CL members have been re-locating the climate controls and doing various monitor / head unit install variations for I'd say, over 4 years now.

This version is def nice.

For other set ups that have relocated the climate control, installed monitors and done the head unit differently than this try searching for posts by lexis11, jawnthen, chaskim and me (RMMGS4).

And yes, they all do require shaving the sides of the climate control unit for it to fit down low > > https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...ighlight=flush

Again, great job by your installer
