  1. I have been looking for rain guard for my car for a while too (90ls400) and all I can find are for the front doors...I did find a company a while ago (over seas) but they were just too expensive. If I do find something fo all 4 door I'll let you know...meanwhile, I'll continue my search! There are a couple of places on ebay that say wood trim (but not real wood) for your car....what kind of radio do you have (single or double din). I have a kenwood double din radio and I did not need a dash kit...because I was able to use the stock bracket (whre the original radio was) to install my new radio and the radio came with an oversize trim ring (you can get just the ring on ebay too) and all I had to do was custom cut the ring to fit the contours of the center console. I also bought the wood trim kit ($100) and it looks pretty nice...I attaching a picture now....if you look right under the radio the custom cut wood piece did not fit right (opening was not high enough to fit radio..I sent this picture to the company) and they were able to redo it and ship it to my at no charge so now it fits perfectly! I am also attaching the dimension for the radio custom piece...so you know how to cut the trim ring. I hope this helps! thanks for the info but I was wondering what 8 inch subs did you replace because I'm planning to take mine out since it crackle at high bass for some reason which sound so nasty :/. i have an alphine headunit i want to put in I guess its a single din? whatever that mean... How long did it take you to put it in because I was planning to swap out everything from my car with 4 alphine type s speaker with 2 pioneer premier subs powered by two amps. SINGLE OR DOUBLE DIN REFFERS TO THE HEIGHT ON YOUR HEAD UNIT....SINGLE DIN RADIOS ARE ABOUT 2.3 INCHES HIGH WHILE DOUBLE DIN RADIOS ARE ABOUT 4 INCHES TALL LIKE THE ONE IN MY PREVIOUS PICTURE. THEY BOTH HAVE THE SAME WIDTH. IT ONLY TOOK ME ABOUT 30 MIN. BUT I DID NOT REPLACE ANY SPEAKERS----I DID REPLACE THE SUBWOOFER IN THE BACK BUT I KEPT THE STOCK AMP. THE AFTER MARKET RADIO SOUNDS A LOT LOUDER THAN THE STOCK RADIO AND IT SOUNDS GREAT WITH THE STOCK SPEAKERS SO I DID NOT FEEL THAT I NEEDED NEW AMPS...BACK IN THE DAY I PROBABLY WOULD HAVE PUT NEW ONES...BUT I HAVE KIDS NOW SO I CAN'T BE GOING TOO LOUND ANY MORE...LOL GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR PROJECT...KEEP ME UP TO DATE WITH PICTURES!!! HERES: A LINK ON INSTRUCTIONS TO REMOVE THE BACK SEAT...YOU WILL NEED THEM! http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/index...showtopic=14710 OK---HERE IS SOME MORE INFO YOU MAY NEED! http://www.lexls.com/tutorials/audio/subwoofer.html <--HOW TO REPLACE SUBWOOFER...INCLUDES LINK TO THE SUBWOOFER YOU CAN BUY...IT'S ONLY ABOUT $70 FROM CRUTCHFIELD! http://www.lexls.com/tutorials/audio/headunit.html <--HOW TO REPLACE STOCK HEAD UNIT! http://www.lexls.com/tutorials/body/rearseat.html <--HOW TO REMOVE BACK SEAT (BETTER LINK THAN THE ONE I GAVE YOU BEFORE)! OK...If you decide to put in the amplifiers you told me about...the easiest way to run the wires from the engine compartment are under the car. From engine compartment bring the power wire for your subs..underneath the car to about where the driver's side seat is....under the seat(under the car) there is a plastic groumet you can take out and run the wire to inside the car...from this point run the wire through the back seat to the trunk. Therea was a link to this procedure but...I think the website was updated and I can't find this info anymore....if /when I do, I will let you know. I hope this information will help you in your proyect!! -marlon
  2. Next time this happens....just take it to the nearest AUTOZONE or ADVANCE AUTOPARTS store...and they can do and ENGINE CHECK LIGHT diagnostic for you...really quick and FREE of charge. They may be able to tell you what the problem is and depending on what it is....you may be able to fix it with their help or at least know more or less if you should drive the car with the light on or not.

I 'm fine with it if it look identical to the wood trim as the 92 lexus. There are a couple of places on ebay that sell this kind of trim for your car. The place where I bought mine is calle RBZ STYLE INC. 8516 14 Ave. Brooklyn, NY---I live in NJ so I just called them up and went to pick up the trim. Their phone # is: 718-837-7366 The price was $100 dollars - I can't remember how many pieces it had but it's the only Trim kit they have for that price...you would love it. MAKE SURE YOU TELL THEM THAT YOU DON'T HAVE THE STOCK RADIO AND JUST GIVE THEM THE DIMENSIONS FOR THE NEW RADIO AND THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO CUSTOM CUT IT FREE OF CHARGE.
  6. HERE IN NEW JERSEY.....YOU CAN'T HAVE ANY TINT IN THE FRONT WINDOWS....ON THE WINDSHIELD JUST 5" FROM THE TOP... AND THE BACK WINDOWS YOU CAN PUT ANY TINT YOU WANT...EXCEPT...MIRROR TINT!

  9. Im new to this site and I glad to have found it! Here my dilema I am trying to install an aftermarket alarm (Designtech #20092) in my 1990 LS400 and I already have the wiring guide and I have tested and know pretty much where most of the wires are but I am having trouble finding the right.....lock/unlock wires as well and the factory alarm disabling wire.....all these wires are said to be on the drivers' side kick panel but there are a couple of harnesses that have same colors--does anyone know in which harness I can find the wires I am looking for>Any help would be greatly appreciated. By the way, I'll be posting pictures about all my connections soon.....just as soon as I find these wires...those are the only ones I need!! I have attached a picture of the harnesses on the driver's side panel. The 2 on the left (blue and white) is where all the wires from the driver's side door plug into. the bottom four harnesses are in the ones in the bottom (kickpanel) and the orange harnesses are the ones on the factory anti-theft module. Can any one tell me where I can find the wires I am looking for??
  10. I wish I would have read this post a month ago...when I found out my power steering fluid was leaking. I thought I could just add fluid and it would be ok...but 2 nights ago alternator went bad and I was stranded in the in highway 3 miles away from my house at 3 a.m. in the morning when my battery died. Now my car is at the mechanic and I'm hoping I'll have it back soon. I am getting the alternator replaced and the seal on the power steering changed.
  11. It sounds like you got a good deal!! Good for you!!
  12. This happened to me a while ago and what I did was use a flat head screw driver and try to open up the passanger side glass window from the frame enough that I could get a metal hanger and stretch it out to where the lock/unlock switich is and try to open it...you will have to try a couple of times and the alarm WILL go off but just continue as you were. As you try to flip the switch to the unlock position - pull the handle bar out with your hand and DO NOT release it ...everytime the alarm stops flip the switch again and continue pulling the handle until it will finally open. Note: you have to keep pulling on the handle because when you flip the switch you will only have about a second before the alarm goes off and the switch goes back to the lock position...that's why you have to try a couple of times.
