I should have worded this a little better. I am referring to deadening the metal surface sound from a pinging sounds to solid uniform sound. Sure, outside sound db wise is the same but the way doors, trunk and speaker sound feel and sound it’s completely different. I think I just made my ES feel $10k more expensive 🤣.
I used to hear the metal shaking from a reasonable sounding music with bass sometimes. All that is gone. Resonance in the car is miles different. If anyone has the time and $60 and have a little couple of hours project I would say go for it. You won’t be disappointed.

Where you got that from? Amazon?

I know you said that it improved certain aspects of the vehicle (door is more solid, speakers sound better, etc), but did you find the road/wind noise was reduced by this effort? I have measured between 67-73db in my car on the hwy, doing about 120km/hr (75mph). Would like that number to go down.

Do you have the laminated windows in your front doors? If not, installing those plus deadening them and something like ResoNix Fiber Mat 25 will drastically eliminate wind and road noise.

I'm not 100% sure, as I haven't come across someone who has, but I can't imagine they made 2 different doors just so they can have one support laminated and the other regular tempered. The only thing I can think of you'd need as well would be a new motor. But all this can be verified by crosschecking the parts.

So, yes, you can replace production tempered glass front windows with laminated glass front windows post production. Not saying it will be an inexpensive replacement but it is possible and the work should be pretty much the same as the work involved in replacing a broken front window of either type.
