The kit looks pretty good. Now all I need is some Walnut veneer to match the wood trim and it's good to go. Definitely will have to place an order with these guys.

does anyone know the company that actually makes the kit though. I doubt that autotoys makes it themselves. I've also seen this kit on e-bay but it doesn't say who the manufacture is. For anyone who bought this kit does the bag say anything on it?

 

just recieved mine in the mail, haven't put in yet but the bag says www.metraonline.com on it. i went to the site but i didn't c any kits for the gs series,but the # is 1-800-253-tech...... its in florida

 

Please post pics! Also, do you have the Metra model number? I too went to the site but didn't see anything for my 99 GS400.

Thanks!

i haven't put it in yet, but ya i was on the site earlier and no kit was their but the model # is 99-8152 from the bag

 

Percy, check it out man, they do custom pieces for like $20!

Hey Guys,

I was wondering if the radio fit kit fits a 1997 LS400? I'm in the process of putting together my sound system right now and it's going to be a DIY.

Thanks!

Looks good, but doesn't look like it totally matches the color of the plate around the temp controls.

Has anyone installed this yet?

 

That's Metra's new kit that was just released... how much are you guys paying for it?!?!

I'll check I'm sure it shouldn't be that much!!!!!

The fit is not bad, it's a typical aftermarket mounting kit...never as good as a nice custom job, but the time and money saved is more than good enough for most regular jobs.

 

Double Whoosh,

I understand that you primarily specialize in very high-end custom installs, but I think many of the "California Challenged" Lexus enthusiast here would love to see you altar your business model to our mutual benefits.

How about designing a complete upgrade kit including everything from Dash/trim kit & wiring harnesses on down the line. That would be cool!

Would anybody happen to know if the sc and gs dins are the same and if this kit would fit in an sc? thanks

The SC and GS are actually pretty different, so for the most part the kits are not interchangeable.

Todd,

By any chance you got a dash kit for the sc for a single din deck $19 delivered?

thanks

 

Have any of you guys who bought one of these installed it yet?

 

Does anybody know if this kit allows for double-din mounting?

Thanks,
Michael
