Ok, here's a shot of the cluster with everything mounted...

...and a shot of the rear seat uppers done...

...and here's where you see how insane I really am. I am sure you are all familiar with the LEXUS QUIET INTERIOR WORKLOG I have been working on, and here's another spot commonly overlooked. If you listen to where the noise in your Max is coming from, you may notice that the majority of it comes from the rear. ALOT of this comes from the trunk. SO, in order to further quiet things down, I SEALED THE REAR OF MY SEATS. Here we see the application of a layer of Damplifier and a taping of the sides with foil tape...

...and then I followed up with a laye of Sludge.

Everybody's been so f'ucking negative (outside of the .org, aka the real world) today that I can't sleep worth s'hit, so here's the pics...

The color looks a little skewed due to the flash...I'll get some more pics in the daylight tommorow.

Here's a shot of the rear seats. I still have to run the bolts for the seatbelts through...but here's how they look anyway. The seats have a much thicker cushion on the covers than OEM...MAN are they comfy!!!

More pics as I progress!!!!

Retrofit of a 4th gen cluster.

Since I did not want to mess with the servos of the cluster, I chopped the needles off using a Dremel.

 

[MetalMaxima 10+ year member]

Now, here is how it looks with the first two needles removed via Dremel.

Then I completley stripped the face of the cluster.

...that's so I can allow maximum light transmission. Plus, I am adding colored gauge faces so that we are two-tone throughout.
