Thought it may be of interest to you guys. Paid a shop to do it; it took 2 of their guys four days to complete the job. Had to strip out the entire floor board, the dashboard, the wheel well and the firewall ...
Now the road and engine noises are reduced and the car feels more solid. The doors close with a "thud" like the conti cars. better sound from the sound system. Worth every penny and more.

have fun!

That looks like some intensive work, I wonder how much weight that added. I like the way the wood on the steering wheel goes across the bottom. ![Big Grin](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Zeta, I noticed the same about the sound leaking when you are outside the vehicle. It's completely different on the LS, the stereo can be real loud, but if you are outside the vehicle it is as if it isn't even on.

That 18" wheels u got is also avaliable in Taiwan, i think im gonna get that if i cant find any 19s or 20s thats reasonable. The ones u got seem popular in asian countries. except japan.
