My GX is gonna need a re-paint within the next few years. The roof clear coat is shot (which I may wrap). The hood is not peeling yet but definitely degraded, while the sides are fine. I may certainly consider a wrap, but will also get quotes for a full re-spray in the factory color.

I had maaco paint the front bumper and asked about their top of the line respray in same color (for me black) and it was 2K and I wasnt opposed to it as I wasnt gonna spent 6k-10k painting this thing.

I have a cousin who owns a body shop, so hopefully I can get a decent-quality job with OEM-quality materials for <$5K. That's only a few months of payments on a new rig :). But I'll ask him next time I see him, or at least see if he can touch up the clear hood to postpone a respray for a few more years.

It's probably not possible for any respray to match the OEM Lexus paint quality, considering that it still looks great over most of the body at 19 years of age.
 
Replaced the mid range driver door speaker with one from china from ebay. Its not blown at least, but it does not sound as loud as the other side.

It got rid of the blown speaker quiet kazoo sound i was hearing, but the window switch plate and the trim piece behind the door handle were vibrating with the bass up loud. Used some 1/2" window A/C sealing foam strips around where the window switches sit in the door and stuck some to the back of the door handle trim pieces and the vibrations are gone!
