This is very interesting Bob.
They are supposed to be installed by the dealer prior to delivering you the car and placed on the underside of the car, likely 2 oblong holes right behind the front wheel well where it arcs downward/meets the underside of the car.
I know from experience if not placed you will hear more tire on road noise and outside noise intrusion in the car than if they had been installed.

I recently bought a 2007 GS350 in August 2021 with 100k and suffer from extreme road noise. I have a hard time believing this is normal. Wind noise is minimal. But road noise is crazy loud. The car came with Michelin pilot sport AS 3+ tires but were old and I replaced them with kumho ecsta tires. Same noise level nothing changed. I did take your word and checked under the body and found 3 plugs missing in the frame rails 1 on passenger side 2 on driver side. I don't know how these 3 missing plugs could cause this much noise. But I ordered the 3 plugs and will install them and hopefully they are the culprits and will provide an update. 🙂

Can you post part#'s or links or names for these plugs?? I am in process of quieting my car this weekend and dynamat-ing my whole interior. Would be very helpful to know.
