Metra Lexus IS300 Dash Kit - Matte Black ISO Bezel for 2001–2005, Single or Stacked Double-DIN

This precision-fit Metra dash kit replaces the factory radio bezel so you can install a single or stacked double DIN head unit with a finished, factory-style look. Finished in painted matte black to match OEM trim, the kit uses a snap-in ISO mounting system for secure, quick release installation and supports full-recessed units with a storage pocket if needed. Designed and manufactured in the USA, it keeps your dash looking original while providing the flexibility to upgrade your car audio.

How does this kit simplify installing an aftermarket radio?

The Metra 99-8151 provides a purpose-built bezel and ISO bracket that aligns with the Lexus dash contours, reducing modifications and installation time. Its snap-in mounting system holds the head unit firmly while allowing easy removal later.

• Included ISO mount accepts single or two stacked DIN units
• Quick-release snap-in design speeds installation and servicing
• Compatible with full-recessed DIN head units plus a pocket
• No cutting or reshaping of the factory dash needed for compatible radios

Will the finish match my Lexus interior?

This bezel is painted matte black specifically to match OEM color and texture for the IS300 generation. That matching finish helps the installed radio blend with surrounding trim for a cohesive, factory-installed appearance.

• Matte black paint tuned to OEM look and feel
• Edges and contours follow the factory dash profile
• Durable finish resists scuffs during installation

Which head units are supported and what mounting options exist?

The kit supports standard single-DIN radios as well as two stacked ISO units (double DIN arranged as two single DINs), and it can accommodate a fully recessed DIN unit with an included or optional pocket. This flexibility covers most aftermarket stereos that follow ISO mounting standards.

• Single DIN installation straightforward with supplied ISO bracket
• Two stacked ISO units accepted for double-DIN-style setups
• Compatible with full-recessed DIN units when used with a pocket
• Works with most ISO-compliant head units from major brands

What should I expect during installation and fitment?

Installation is designed to be plug-and-play for the 2001–2005 Lexus IS300 dash opening, though you may still need a vehicle-specific wiring harness and antenna adapter for a complete plug-in radio swap. The snap-in ISO mount helps align the unit and holds it securely while you connect wiring and trim into place.

• Direct fit for 2001–2005 Lexus IS300 dash opening
• May require separate wiring harness and antenna adapter (sold separately)
• Snap-in bracket reduces the need for extra brackets or metalwork
• Designed for repeatable installs without damaging dash components

Who is this for: The Metra 99-8151 dash kit is aimed at IS300 owners from 2001 through 2005 who want a factory-looking solution when upgrading to an aftermarket radio. It’s useful for DIY installers and professional shops that need a reliable, OEM-matched bezel and ISO mounting system to speed installs and achieve a clean finished appearance without cutting or custom fabrication.
