I really believe that this is a one off fiber glass kit.

^^^ As stated above that is a custom made dash piece. If you want clean why don't you just get the JDM Toyota one, it's cleaner than the one pictured anyways. It's meant for a double din and matches the dash perfectly since it's made by Toyota.

The site sponsor, Carson Toyota, sells the jdm one, I can't cut and paste on my phone but just check out their site(i think it's Ltunedparts.com) and you will find it under audio for the 98-05 Gs.

Man, you can go to www.autotoys.com and get the exact same dash kit. I have both an ISO din dash kit from my previous screen that I am now selling and a double-din kit for my current screen and they look just as good as the one above. Installation is easy and it matches the temp control unit right above it very well....

WRONG.

The kit they sell is either a Metra kit or an American International kit, neither of those are a good match to the factory dash panel coloring OR texture. Trust me (and everyone else on the forum who has gone through this) the kit you want is the JDM Toyota kit. It is an EXACT match to the climate control, has a much sturdier mount than the Metra/AI kits and is just overall a MUCH better quality piece.
