sunman Posted September 18, 2004 Posted September 18, 2004 Here are some pics of the complete install. http://homepage.mac.com/drsunilpatel/PhotoAlbum19.html
steviej Posted September 18, 2004 Posted September 18, 2004 the more goodies you fabricate the more I am impressed. do you make all the trim pieces too? steviej
blake918 Posted September 18, 2004 Posted September 18, 2004 What is there to say other than....WOW!!!! :o :o It looks like Lexus installed everything! Superb work! B) How long and how much did the entire thing take?
sunman Posted September 18, 2004 Author Posted September 18, 2004 i did the whole thing. trim ring took 6 hours alone. mic was 1 hour. total cost about 1900
SW03ES Posted September 18, 2004 Posted September 18, 2004 You do awesome awesome work. Ever thought of doing some stuff for profit? If you were closer to me I can think of several things I'd gladly pay you to do!
jay swinger Posted September 18, 2004 Posted September 18, 2004 It looks exactly like a Lexus Nav in a Lexus.
lexusk8 Posted September 18, 2004 Posted September 18, 2004 Perfect fit and finish with the NAV onto your '97 ES. Good work sunman :D Is the navigation from a '02+ Camry? Did you install the navigation signal (or antenna) in the trunk or mounted on the rear windshield?
SW03ES Posted September 18, 2004 Posted September 18, 2004 Keep in mind sk isn't calling you a hoebag LOL, thats the name of a member in Houston ;)
sunman Posted September 19, 2004 Author Posted September 19, 2004 I still have to add the rearview camera and the integrated XM module. I will post more pics later.
98OysterES300 Posted September 19, 2004 Posted September 19, 2004 Hey - I would love to do this mod to my car - is it possible that you could fabricate me this same trim piece for a 98 ES300? Also - could you provide any installation instructions. BTW- Does the glovebox CD Changer work with this - or do i need to install a changer in the trunk?
AxlxA Posted September 20, 2004 Posted September 20, 2004 Ya man, i would be interested in a piece like this too... maybe u can make a bunch for the 98-01 ES's cause it's freakin awesome. looks wonderful
98OysterES300 Posted October 5, 2004 Posted October 5, 2004 So - Sunman - what do you say about making some dash kits like the one you made for your 97 with the navi cutout?
sunman Posted October 6, 2004 Author Posted October 6, 2004 I can but it would cost about 125 each. It takes me several hours to make them.
hipusmc Posted November 8, 2004 Posted November 8, 2004 I can but it would cost about 125 each. It takes me several hours to make them. ← i have a question i live here in nw houston area and i was planning on getting a 2002 lexus es 300 next year and was wonderring how much would it cost total for the custom nav installation like yours....i jus want the nav unit with the mic and the plastic pieces to go around it.....
sunman Posted November 8, 2004 Author Posted November 8, 2004 since the 2002 has the NAV option, I can get the toyota nav and order a trim piece from lexus directly. The mic is easy. contact me when you need one. drsunilpatel@mac.com
93lexuses Posted November 8, 2004 Posted November 8, 2004 Keep in mind sk isn't calling you a hoebag LOL, thats the name of a member in Houston ;) ← LOL sunman, It does look great! :)
FFCSL600 Posted November 16, 2004 Posted November 16, 2004 Hey everyone... my first post...yea... anyway, sunman I have a '97 ES300 and I really like what you did to yours... congrats... anyway, what all was involved in retrofittting your headlights and adding the Navigation system... would you mind adding some more details or let me know how you did it all by e-mail... thanks.
