I just installed an after market stereo in my '97 ES 300 because my LCD was delaminating. I figured a $110 for a Dual XHD6425 was better than the cost of replacing the LCD for my 10 year old stereo.
Anyway, Crutchfield sent me the wrong mounting kit. They sent one for a 1996 Lexus. it's only one year different but apparently Lexus swapped the order of the A/C unit and the stereo.
It turns out (many of you probably know this) that the ES300 stereo is just a dual DIN unit, so my new stereo installed just fine. However, now I have this large hole in my dash because I don't have a face plate. Crutchfield doesn't sell one for my car.
So I thought I'd ask here.
Since my stereo is a single DIN I'd like a face plate with a cubby slot for throwing keys and such. I may have to order these separately. I really want it to match the look and texture of the factory plates so that it still matches my A/C and clock units.
I'm sure many many people here have already done this. Can anyone recommend where I can get these? Model numbers or urls would be great.
Thanks!
Matt
