Default lexus sc300 and cd decks

hey, i was wondering if there was a good aftermarket for audio for the lexus sc300. i have this cd deck i really like in my 240, and when i look it aorund, it doesnt seem like it can fit in the sc300...
is there anyway to get it in there at all? will it be lots of $$ and custom work?

If I remember correctly, SC's do not have any aftermarket support for the din area on the dash. Something custom would have to be built and if you can do it yourself, it can be costly.

To no surprise that is incorrect. Their is a company that makes a black abs plastic OEM fit filler plate. this way you cut hole as needed.

There are ones where you cut it to fit and they make others with single dins already cut. They usually run between 50 and 100 bucks depending on the style of pieces (if it has spots for gauges, a pocket, etc).

in my buddies sc we went to lowes and picked up a piece of black abs cut it to fit and fabbed up some brackets, it looked pretty good it was a temp fix that turned into a permanent one
