Hi KentIS300 I am near to getting the same Pioneer SPH-DA100.I know you said that the original lexus unit wasn't fitted to your car,but can you help with the following:- 1) Whats the make of the fascia plate ? is it this http://www.ebay.co.u...984.m1439.l2649 I have just ordered off ebay a number plate fascia with camera attached.It will need modifiying.

Hi I recently Bought and fitted,Front and Rear brake discs and pads to my 1999 is 200. Reading the forum it didn't surprise me to find both rear calipers only working on the outboard discs, the inboard discs calipers were unable to extend due to the corrossion and accumilation of dirt etc. Anyway what i need is x2 new pad guide pins as the ones I have are corroded and not really fit for purpose. Has someone out there, had the same trouble, and could give me guidance as to where I can get some nice new shinny pins Thanks
