i bought a metra double din for my LS.. the holes for my ashtray to click into are plastic and they keep bending everytime i try and make it click.. so now, my gap's no longer there but i got my ashtray that won't stay.. not a great trade off
do you sc guys have something wrong with your metra kit?

For some odd reason the ash tray won't open now without some serious persuasion after I installed the kit. Now that I think about it, I think the plastic tabs at the bottom are too wide and the ash tray lid is rubbing on the kit. I can open it, but it takes two hands now.

Thanks for the pics, based off what I just saw, I ordered the Double Din kit for my new Avic F700!

Under the bright flash my car looks rather dirty. But it's finally done. The kit fits like a glove...

I ordered my single yesterday so that I can put the interior back together. My only "issue" is that I see a line under all the kits for the ashtray. Is that for the lid to go in? Just looks a little out of place.

I might put felt on the top "like a front load CD player" to conceal it a little. I will have to see how it looks.

I'm not sure if you mean gap when you say line. But there is a very small gap between the install kit and the ashtray. If that is what you are speaking of, you're right, it is so the ashtray can open up. If they were butted up it wouldn't be able to open. It really looks worse in pictures, I don't think you have anything to worry about. I've seen others on this site where there is a gap several inches wide with exposed wires and such. You should be fine.

There is a gap when you install it but it can be fixed very easily. When I installed mine I noticed I could still see under the kit. If you look at my thread here: (https://www.clublexus.com/forums/lex...talled-sc.html) you can see what I did to fix it. It was very easy to do and now you don't see anything.

The kit has some flaws but nothing that can't be corrected.
