Default Making the GS more Maybach-like?

I know I couldn't afford to do a project like this right now, but I've been thinking of what it would involve to get some maybach-esque touches done in the GS. It's really not that difficult to do some of this stuff.

Here's a good pic to start with (57, not 62)



First, I'd take the rear area behind the seats and take it out, mostly, (I know, it would severely limit trunkspace if seats are back) and just put in a pair of front seats to the back, so they can recline a bit.

With a sunroof, you'd have to make the monitor come up from the back of the sunroof, but it could end up in the same spot as the pic, just wouldn't get the greenhouse in the back.

You could easily make trays and stuff for laptops, and the center console from the front seats could be adapted to a cooler with wine and glasses.

Oh yeah, and curtains for the windows.

The only option I would want is the panaramic roof, or the sky roof in the new Caddy SRX.

Don't forget to add about 1000 pounds of highly advanced and well-engineered sound deadening material so that you can make an LS430, relatively speaking, sound like a Nascar inside.
