SCREW YOU!!!!!! I have a 98 ES300 and I thought I would be the first to have a carputer in our model year on this board!!!
All I can say is GREAT JOB! I've only installed the head unit, amp, infinity basslink, distro block and speakers so far. I purchased one of those dash fit kits that finally came out for our cars and currently using that as a temporary solution for my aftermarket HU.
The metal bracket for the stock radio and HVAC controls looks like it could hold 2 DIN units, so I am planning on installing my Xenarc into an in-dash unit. When that is done, I have to fabricate some sort of dash piece to accomodate the aftermarket HU and the in-dash monitor. I have a mid-tower ATX case waiting to be installed in the trunk.
I really like what you did with the MDF pieces in the trunk. I've currently mounted my amp, inverter, power strip and distro block to a piece of carpeted plywood and when the carputer is in, I plan on mounting it against the rear seatback. The ATX case will go on one side of the trunk while the infinity basslink is on the other. To make it look real stealth, I may do what you did with your sub.
I've run my power/audio cables the exact same way you did (power on driver's side and audio on passenger's side). One question though, were you able to fit all the cables under the plastic cover on the passenger's side of the car? We're talking about 3 AV interconnects, 4 sets of speaker wires, 1 vga cable, 1 audio cable from carputer to HU and a USB cable....??? Did all those fit under the plastic covers???
One last thing, I was stupid and accidentally left my work light on the passenger's side plastic cover for about 5 minutes - it melted the plastic. It cost me $56 to get a new one from a stealership - so, just be cautious with any other work.
Anyhow, congrats on your ride....I'm going to be hitting you up with a few more questions later on.

These questions have been answered quite a few times. Good project car.
but anyway the reason i did it in the car was becuase i needed dash as the mold i did not use any of the dash peaces around the screen over again
