Default Need help installing aftermarket head unit

i have a 1993 lexus sc300 and i recently bought a single DIN headunit. i understand that there is no face kit made for lexus and tha a custom face kit must be made. has anyone installed a deck in this car before? i would like to know how difficult it is to install it, remove the stock headunit, bypass the stock amp, and fabricate a custom face kit out of AVS plastic. thanks!

If you're changing your stock system, make sure you change everything. Not just the HU and speakers, but everything. The amp can be interfaced with a new HU, but it's not worth it.

As for filling up the extra space, I think its www.importtoys.com that makes something for that.
Here's what I did custom with black painted plexi and computer laser engraving.
