Question 2k ES3 Double Din Wood Grain

Anyone know where to find a kit? I'm looking to add navigation to my Es300. Don't care for the all black kits. Thanks in advance.

YOu need to do it one off.

I'd suggest getting a thin piece of laminate sheet or something and staining it. After gluing it onto the face of the trim kit.

Some guys one here had made custom bezels out of wood to match the navi units.

I saw that post as well but I dont think he posted a finished pic yet. Anyone want to start a production company for wood grain es/gs radio kits? Anyway, I'll keep looking for now but like you said I may have to get creative.

This company http://www.carid.com/ can make you a custom double DiN faceplate to match your existing interior. I suppose that you will need to send them a template of what you need, or they may even have it already.

I had a carpenter make mine. Countless coats of stain and 2-3 coats of polyurethane and here's the result;



No company produces woodgrain 2din bezels for our ES's as far as I know. Your only other option would be to source out a woodgrain bezel from the corresponding year Toyota Windom, they had a navigation option in Japan, although it is wider than the standard 2din size.

This place will take pretty much any type of interior trim piece you want and will match it to your existing.
