Metra Electronics 95-8160G Lexus 2001-2006 LS430 Double DIN Dash Kit (Gray)

great item ,good price

Almost factory match...two thumbs up. Great job for making it it easy to install as well. Thanks

Excellent

Is ok. Color and finish are pretty close for the little money. I don't mind the substantial lip it has. Meaning, it bumps out from the original dash of the car, but that's alright. I am notably frustrated with the minor gap it leaves between it at the top and the rest of the dash controls. It's like it 'sags' down lower than it should. Haven't figured out a tweak to fix this.

Works great.

Terrible fitment for my 2002 LS430. Go somewhere else and find one that fits better. The top lip is not tight to the console, it's super loose. I thought my installation guy messed up but it appears everybody else has these issues as well. Looks super cheap and has a huge gap between top lip and console. I definitely regret ordering this. Makes my whole car look cheap

Cannot get this thing to sit up tight to the climate control because the lower screw hole bracket part is too flimsy for the weight of an installed head unit (even mine, which doesn't have a CD mechanism in it at all). That part needs to be a metal add on so it doesn't have the chance to bend at all.

thanks

Not a great fit. The bottom connects with screws but the top doesn't clip in properly. It feels loose.

Overall, the product is satisfactory, though it falls short of earning a five-star rating. Prior to purchase, I was aware of a particular issue that I'll address. There's a noticeable gap at the top of the frame, which can be somewhat annoying. However, it still achieves the desired original equipment manufacturer (OEM) aesthetic, which was my primary reason for selecting this frame. If you're seeking a product that closely mimics the OEM appearance without the bulk of a tablet-sized frame, this is a solid choice. Additionally, it allows you to maintain access to the air conditioning controls, which is advantageous. In the event that a double DIN unit malfunctions, you can still operate your AC system.
