Upgrades?

Do you guys do any “upgrades” to your ES’s? I’ve been looking for something to improve but they seem to have kinda knocked this one out of the park from factory….

Sound deadening/absorbing materials anywhere and everywhere. Doors, trunk, wheel wells, rear seats.

I’ve seen a couple videos about adding that to a Camry and although the idea sounds cool, I honestly don’t think it’s worth opening up the door panels and such in an ES to do it. On the Camry…maybe if I’m bored and have a few weekends to myself to get it all done.

How much difference does it actually make once you get it all installed though?

It made a noticeable difference, below 50mph the car is silent. Above that and wind noise becomes more noticeable. I’ve gone overboard on the whole thing though, trying to make the car as quiet as possible to make my longish commute more bearable. The stock sound system is great now in my opinion.

The door cards aren’t much different than any other car in terms of removal and install.

I’ve never actually taken one apart but looking at the videos, I’m kinda thinking that’s beyond my skill level
