Before the current editorial team began acting autocratically, I would have been tempted to suggest some sophisticated method of "self harm" as a possible cure for very bad taste.
Instead I suppose I will just have to say "it looks **** man" or "hey dude that sucks", somehow those statements appear lame and inadaquate compared to the debauchery you have performed on one of the most stylish cars ever produced.
Silverbolt, you have a nice day, a nice life even but dont stand too close to the road, it could be the Anti-Rice driving that eighteen wheeler

Hey Bill, the lights have a bluish cover which makes the AC unit look green. Take off the covers of the bulbs and it will be amber. Some of the bulbs are hard to get to though.

"Does my setup look stock????! "
No !
(I feel this statement was made in a very monosyllabic, slightly sarcastic tone with just a discernable hint of humour, although the inclusion of the exclamation mark could be construed as being threatening, on the contrary the preceding space may convey an element of the exclamation mark merely being an "afterthought", not entirely in keeping with the overall disapproving tone of the first monosyllable.
The recipient may well feel aggrieved or possibly has been deprived by the lack of any further discourse, in deed the lack of any further vowels, consonants or punctuation could be thought to be a tad discourteous or perhaps just succinct by those preferring the "short version").

Nak is not related to lexus in any way. They got the deal to do some lexus vehicles, but the factory replacement for the sc400 is Eclipse Car Audio. It will directly plug into your existing wiring and all mounts will line up perfectly. It is made by Fujitsu Ten Corporation and is relatively expensive, but the double din units are made as a direct factory replacement for toyota/lexus and will plug in and mount just like it is made for it........... because it is.

Onelasttry, that is great info, those eclipse decks are pretty nice, I wouldn't mind getting atleast someting that can play mp3s, and something that has a big screen and/or dvd is even better.
I agree with Bill that the setup doesn't look stock, I think silverbolts setup does look pretty good. It sort of reminds me of the 'Lexus' that lights up when you open the door of the SC430. I don't know if I would go as far as that, I personally would either stick to the stock deck or else get double din. Although London Bill's setup looks clean, I just couldn't have that much empty room. But each person has their own opinions... I know I like your Soarer very much.
But I don't want to be caught in the middle of this, just wanted to get some thoughts out.

if so, would you mind sharing the model numbers, pictures?

hi 808, i have been informed by MW i cannot exactly state why i know this to be true, but i'll say i have a bit of experience in the biz.
eclipse was originally designed by fujitsu ten as factory sound systems for toyota. they are in effect, factory radios gone public. some of the newer model eclipse radios use a updated harness that requires the purchase of a converter from eclipse, but the concept remains the same.
Nak had to work around the factory lexus design, not the other way around, and any toyota/lexus owner can rest assured that fujitsu ten is the original OEM radio of all toyotas and the majority of lexus models. Nak used the eclipse harness by toyota request.

however, onelasttry, pcmw was not aware of this issue that pcmw informed you about. could you please resolve it and if it does not violate any of clublexus thoughtfully thought out rules, then could you please give the specific model number which would be plug/bolt in play which i believe would be beneficial to all members in this forum to make informed decisions.
i'm not asking how you know it, i'm just kindly asking for a model number and pics of the eclipse if you have them.
