Metra Electronics 99-8151 Lexus IS300 01-05 Dash Kit, Black

I was unable to get these brackets to all line up so I fortunately had an old kit which was much simpler. I only used the inner face plate to fill in the radio gap so I did have to cut that middle bar out like everybody else mentioned. Fit pretty good. Price is good.

Perfect fit for my ride...at least that's what my installer said

Wasn’t quite perfect fit to the radio but it’s about 96% right. I think mostly it was due to the radio fault I got no the trim piece

The. Item was here in 2 days and was complete. I have yet to install it. I am quite sure it will look and operate just fine. Thank you.

This is the fourth Metra Dash kit that I have installed. I have been pretty pleased with the other ones (Lexus GX 470, Toyota Celica), but this kit is really awful. As others have mentioned, you will need to remove the center bar on the trim ring. Really? It would have cost them 2 cents to throw in another ring without the bar. Instead I spent 15 minutes filing it down with a Dremel trying not to make it not look like aftermarket junk. Nearly every piece of plastic in my kit was badly warped. Nothing wanted to snap together and stay together. In the third picture you can see where the bracket snaps into the surround. The male piece was square and too large to seat properly (only on one side though). I used some end cutting pliers and a Dremel to cut it down. The Faceplate was badly warped (see pics). I ended up using a heat gun to straighten it out the best I could. Like others mentioned, I had to cut the bottom of the mounting bracket (behind the faceplate) in order for my Binize Double Din Android to fit inside the mount. I cut and hacked at this thing for hours. What should have been a 35 minute job took me nearly three hours to get it to the point where I would not be embarrassed by someone asking my daughter who installed her stereo. I looked around at other kits, and don't think any of the other ones would be any better. I would definitely pay $50 or more for a good kit, unfortunately it looks like we don't have many options for this old girl (we've owned her 15 years - my car handed down to my daughter). I cannot imagine a stereo shop using one of these for an install. The labor required to make it fit would kill them. The unsatisfied customers would put them out of business. So sad this wasn't as good as their other kits. I hope this review and my pics help you out.

Putting it together was a little bit tricky. I actually did not get to fully put it in because I changed my mind and what I was gonna do with my car and I ended up doing a racing build so my radio is nonexistent.

This is the one you want for the IS300 if installing a new double din JVC. That other pos that crutchfield is selling is not good. Love the crutch, but you'll want this one.

Has everything you need

Didn't fit a 2002 Lexus IS300. Waste of money, cheap plastic and the screws that came with it were too short and didn't fit anywhere
