How difficult was it to install the new sound system? Stripping down an LS430 like that seems like it would be a hassle.
Thanks Kira, now you know what the Zeasts will look like on your car.

not entirely difficult just very tedious. pulling the speaker wire to each door was the most tricky part. the grommets are pretty tight to slip any type of wire through but some lubrication helped a lot.

You're welcome! The Zeasts look amazing on an LS. Let me know if you come across another one of those front grilles. I saw another guy with the same one a few months ago.

I was thinking about running all new wires just like you did. What size speakers did you use? I have a brand new set of 6.5 inch Polks that I wanted to use.

By the way, thanks for your reply. I always look forward to your posts and updates on your car.

That's pricey. PM me if another one pops up. If it's under $400 I'd probably buy it.

Did you have to modify anything to fit the 6.5 inch speakers? I have a set of 6.5 inch Polks I was hoping to install soon.

Gloss black should look pretty good behind your new Works. I have gloss black brakes on my SC and it's really subtle and goes well with any wheel color.

That's awesome! I was worried my speakers wouldn't fit, so that's good to hear.

You can't go wrong with black calipers. What kind of paint did you use to do your calipers?
