Default TSX retrofit on SC300 custom template
I know you guys have done it many times....

Do any of you guys have a template of how you cut that sheet metal or acrylic into an adapter plate?

DO NOT USE acrylic! Plastics don't hold up so great under constant heat and temperature cycles. Use some type of metal for the frame.

i bought my templates from lexus4jess. i highly recommend them.

i, however, do not recommend the templates/retro by tiguy99.

my retro was the one he did here: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...ght=sc300+pimp

i was happy in the beginning with the job, but then i began to notice things. he had used aluminum foil to cover up the side holes on the projectors. eventually those fell out of place (only held in by electrical tape) and fell into the housing itself. secondly, the templates he used, well pics speak for themselves.
