It's finally time to start rebuilding the audio system and interior in the lexus. I started in about a year ago but never got around to finishing and now I have a little more time and motivation to start again. The car started off with a tan and brown interior and I've slowly been working to convert it over to black with silver painted accents. I want to stay away as much as possible from "dying" the interior so a lot of it will be rewrapped in black vinyl and suede. Products going into the car

Pioneer/Carrozzeria DEH-P01II
Pioneer/Carrozzeria DEQ-P01II
Pioneer USB adapter ( wont be used much but I got it with the deck and eq)
Hybrid Audio Legatia L6SE
Hybrid Audio Legatia L1 Pro R2
Hybrid Audio Imagine I6SW 6.5 inch subs
Phoenix Gold Basscube
Genesis Series III Dual Mono (L1 Pro R2)
Genesis Series III Dual Mono Xtreme ( L6SE)
Genesis Profile Sub Ultra ( I6SW)

I'm just waiting for the amps to come in so no pics yet but I can't wait to see um.



Pic of what the interior looked like stock ( not a pic of my car but I didn't take a stock pic so I borrowed this one haha)

Door panel first build then new rebuild

I rebuilt the bottom section of the door panel to house the L6 but now I changed up to the L6SE and thankfully the basket stayed the same. I originally was going to stick with tan so the first build was done in tan suede. I got over that look pretty fast.

I never took a finish sanded pic so this one looks a little rough

Now to the recent rebuild. The bottom half of the panel was wrapped in black vinyl, the center section was done in black suede and the wood grain was painted silver. The I made trim rings for the L6SE and painted them silver also


Stripped and ready to wrap

All put back together

Trim rings being built. I used 3/16 plexi to make the rings but first I had to make a jig out of mdf and transfer that to the plexi just to make it a smoother finish and to have a jig if I ever need to make them again. Then I had to sand the router lines down smooth and paint them. Them color sand and buff the rings to make them smooth.








Before and after of the router lines being sanded out. Top is freshly cut and bottom is sanded smooth

Next it's time for wiring, some dash work and A pillar build

Wow great execution! This is exactly what I wanna do to my SC when I convert it to black interior. All the wood would be turned into brushed aluminum, then reupholster the leather and switch to carbon fiber doors, hood and trunk to be lighter since the sound system is gonna contribute a lot of weight... Good job man, I'll definitely look this thread up when it's time to do mine...More!
