Default Vibrating noise in the car

I posted a few days ago, but I have a little more info on a noise in my 2004 gs300. It is actually a vibrating sound that is worse while accelerating quickly, and also worse when it's windy. To the best of m knowlege, it seems to be coming from the front of the car. Any thoughts?

Any help greatly appreciated

Thanks, Fred

Diesel,

Where does the vibration come from? Front of the car? Roofing Area? Sides? Steering Wheel Colum?Sun-Roof? Be specific as you can be. @ What speed you experience this vibration? Will it go away when you go over or below certain speed?

Balancing could help it the virbration comes from the front of the car and sends the shock brivating feeling to the steering wheels.

Good luck

Turns out that the auto body shop that fixed my gs300 after hitting a dear messed up the installation of the underbody plastic protector. My Lexus dealer fixed the issue without much trouble. The plastic protector was vibrating.

Thanks
